William Plans Invasion After Hairy Star Seen
In a classroom request, teachers recruit five question sets per grade about Europe and Rome with a World Book Encyclopedia prize for best set. The narrative then shifts to William preparing an invasion of England after Harold's ascent, gathering Normans in Caen and along the Seine, promising land, church posts, ships, and troops while arming boats and knights for a cross-channel assault. A notable omen is the appearance of a hairy star over Normandy seen in April, cited as Harold’s fear.
