Solution
The correct option is A William
William the Conqueror was a Norman duke when he won the Battle of Hastings on 14 October 1066 — a victory that would ultimately lead to him taking the English crown. Throughout the long day of battle on 14 October, both sides suffered heavy casualties. And both fell victim to trick tactics and rumors that were going around the battlefield.At one point some of William’s men started to flee, believing that the duke had been killed. William reportedly rode out in front of them, however, raising his helmet to show his face and that he was indeed alive, while a Norman counter-charge destroyed pursuing English troops. Hence, Option A is correct.
