William the Conquerer conquest was not only a great step in the begining of
the age of exploration, but had a strange outcome. Upon ariving at Hastings,
William the Conquerer made provisions to attack the leader of the Saxons.
Before the battle, the commonly known nebula, the crab nebula, formed through
the super-nova of a near star. For many days, the sun was drowned out and
night turned to day. This enigmatic event struck fear into the Saxons and
contributed to their defeat, leading to Norman control of England and future
relationships between France and England.
