    Which of the following types of fighters did William the Conqueror not have in his army?

    • Cavalry

    • Axemen

    • Archers

    • Infantry

    Correct Answer
    A. Axemen
    Explanation
    William the Conqueror did not have Axemen in his army. Axemen were not a part of his military strategy or tactics. Instead, he relied heavily on cavalry, archers, and infantry. Axemen were not commonly used during the time period in which William the Conqueror lived, and therefore were not included in his army.

    Why did Harold let lots of his soldiers go home in September after waiting for William all summer?

    • He decided that William wasn't going to attack

    • He couldn't afford to pay them

    • They were needed to collect in the harvest

    • There were riots in the towns, so they were needed at home

    Correct Answer
    A. They were needed to collect in the harvest
    Explanation
    Harold let lots of his soldiers go home in September because they were needed to collect in the harvest. This suggests that the soldiers were needed to assist with the agricultural work during the harvest season, which was a crucial time for gathering crops. This decision implies that Harold prioritized the welfare and productivity of his people over the immediate military concerns, recognizing the importance of securing food resources for his kingdom.
