the Norman invasion,1066, while he was away in France, in favor of Edgar Atheling`s party, which evidently failed, as the Norman Barons involved in it were obliged to flee up to Scotland and seek the protection of the Scottish King, Malcolm Canmore, who had married Edgar`s sister.
Is there someone who might be able to shed more light on this story, and explain further why there should have been an Insurrection in the first place?
Also...Could the Norman Invasion have had more hidden motives other than William`s desire to fullfill his claim to the English throne? Might there have been, for example, some connection with the now popular theme of the Templars?
