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

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.

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

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.
