the battle of hastings, fought between harold Ⅱ , king of england, and duke william of normandy on 14 october 1066, was the prelude to the norman conquest of england.
when the normans drew near to the english, duke william's minstrel, taillefer, cried, "i have long served you, sire, and today i ask as my reward that you will allow me to strike the first blow in the battle." and the duke answered, "i grant it."
