William I was the second grandson of King David I of Scotland, a man of common birth who was destined to lose his crown in Scotland. He inherited the title of his father, who died early, and could have spent his life in peace and glory.
However, Duke William was not content to be a minor duke. He was "William the Conqueror" and was a fearsome warrior. His cousin Edward died and no one succeeded to the throne, and the great nobleman Harold was proclaimed king.
In 1066, William defeated King Harold of England and became the founder of a series of Future English rulers. But this great man died 20 years later, and he was called the laughing stock of the people.
This once invincible man could not have imagined the honor that he did not die, and died a very humiliating death. When he led his troops to fight the French, he was defeated not by the brave and warlike French soldiers, but by his own crotch colt.
As his horse was frightened by the raging battlefield, its forefoot took off, and the front bridge of the saddle plunged into the body of William I. The badly wounded William I was carried to the Abbey of Saint-Gers, and a few days later William I closed his eyes forever.
But no one knows where he was injured and why he was injured so badly. I'm afraid only everyone has made up their own brains.
The man, once hailed as a hero of the world, suffered another humiliation after his death. His loyal subordinates now looked leaderless and went their separate ways for their own benefit. And the servants, who were usually obedient to their own orders, greedily looted all the valuable things on his body, and even the clothes on his body were ripped off. He just lay like this on the cold floor without anyone caring.
And that's not all, a group of monks found its stinking body and wanted to put him in a coffin for burial. But at this time, a scene of drama appeared, William I became king after eating too much, and his body was too fat to fit into the coffin.
But you can't just bury him in the soil, it seems too undignified. So people wanted to force him into it, and suddenly a pungent smell spread in the church. It turned out that William I had eaten too much and was squeezed by the coffin.
From the moment William I died, he was doomed to never again in his former glory. People laughed at the fact that he was killed by his own horse, that his body was abandoned after his death, and that he was finally burst by food. The story became a warning for Europeans: eating too much is not even decent to die.
