A comparison of William I&#039;s coinage to those of the preceeding reigns, including AEthelred II (978-1016), Canute (1016-1035) (more properly spelt Cnut but i want to avoid any misspellings&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; ), Edward The Confessor (1042-1066) and Harold II (1066). I did have some of this material in a previous history essay dealing with the Question of &#039;whether the Norman Conquest of 1066 was a period of continuity or change?&#039;</p><p><br /></p><p>(Don&#039;t have any images of these coins myself but i think i know where i can borrow some)</p><p><br /></p><p>Then i might redevelop that Stephen (1135-1154) one into more detail, and see how far i can crack down to the nitty gritty.</p><p><br /></p><p>If i can weave all that lot together (if i ever get the time that is!) then all i have to do is fill in the gaps between William I (1066-1087) and Stephen and i could have a nice chapter for a book!</p><p><br /></p><p>If only i could suss out the stuff between Cnut and Edward The Confessor.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s before i get started on my real area of speciality.</p><p><br /></p><p>Syl.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
