In the eleventh frame, Knowles took a 53b0 lead before Davis failed to pot the black ball after the last red ball, and Knowles won the frame and match. Knowles said he had been at a nightclub until 2:00 am that day and had slept for only five hours. Graham Miles, who was tied at 5b5 with Dave Martin, won the next five frames to achieve a 10b5 victory. Bill Werbeniuk led John Bear 7b2 after their first session; Bear won the next three frames to reduce the lead to 7b5, but Werbeniuk ultimately won 10b7.

Wilson, who had been taking medication for a viral infection prior to the first round, was feeling unwell and lost six consecutive frames in the second session. Dennis Taylor had lost one of his contact lenses the previous week and played without eyewear. He trailed Silvino Francisco 2b7 but won five of the next six, bringing the score to 7b8. Francisco then won three successive frames, winning 10b7. Eight-time champion Fred Davis, the event's oldest competitor at the age of 68, lost 7b10 to Dean Reynolds, who at 19 was the youngest participant. After defeat in the first three frames, Davis had led 6b5. Ray Reardon faced Jim Donnelly, the first Scottish player to play at the Crucible, and built a 6b3 lead over him.

Permanent Scandinavian settlement occurred before 911, when Rollo, one of the Viking leaders, and King Charles the Simple of France reached an agreement ceding the county of Rouen to Rollo. The lands around Rouen became the core of the later duchy of Normandy. Normandy may have been used as a base when Scandinavian attacks on England were renewed at the end of the 10th century, which would have worsened relations between England and Normandy. In an effort to improve matters, King Cthelred the Unready took Emma, sister of Richard II, Duke of Normandy, as his second wife in 1002. Danish raids on England continued, and Cthelred sought help from Richard, taking refuge in Normandy in 1013 when King Swein I of Denmark drove Cthelred and his family from England. Swein's death in 1014 allowed Cthelred to return home, but Swein's son Cnut contested Cthelred's return. Cthelred died unexpectedly in 1016, and Cnut became king of England. Cthelred and Emma's two sons, Edward and Alfred, went into exile in Normandy while their mother, Emma, became Cnut's second wife. After Cnut's death in 1035, the English throne fell to Harold Harefoot, his son by his first wife, while Harthacnut, his son by Emma, became king in Denmark. England remained unstable. Alfred returned to England in 1036 to visit his mother and perhaps to challenge Harold as king. One story implicates Earl Godwin of Wessex in Alfred's subsequent death, but others blame Harold. Emma went into exile in Flanders until Harthacnut became king following Harold's death in 1040, and his half-brother Edward followed Harthacnut to England; Edward was proclaimed king after Harthacnut's death in June ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2022 06:09:25 -0400 From: "Bug-Free Bliss" Subject: Best Option For Summer Best Option For Summer http://detroad.sa.com/pDXO1Dc0HTFDhROYKqAUbNb9coSX9q8Q_tlK7UwwjejHoiI8eQ http://detroad.sa.com/OqOeqnZGuAWKh8FhhMoOtTVEBimxSOc4pUneksPrAW2QA9I7fg William faced several challenges on becoming duke, including his illegitimate birth and his youth: the evidence indicates that he was either seven or eight years old at the time. He enjoyed the support of his great-uncle, Archbishop Robert, as well as King Henry I of France, enabling him to succeed to his father's duchy. The support given to the exiled English princes in their attempt to return to England in 1036 shows that the new duke's guardians were attempting to continue his father's policies, but Archbishop Robert's death in March 1037 removed one of William's main supporters, and conditions in Normandy quickly descended into chaos. The anarchy in the duchy lasted until 1047, and control of the young duke was one of the priorities of those contending for power. At first, Alan ofr late 1039 or October 1040, Gilbert of Brionne took charge of William. Gilbert was killed within months, and another guardian, Turchetil, was also killed around the time of Gilbert's death. Yet another guardian, Osbern, was slain in the early 1040s in William's chamber while the duke slept. It was said that Walter, William's maternal uncle, was occasionally forced to hide the young duke in the houses of peasants, although this story may be an embellishment by Orderic Vitalis. The historian Eleanor Searle speculates that William was raised with the three cousins who later became important in his career b William fitzOsbern, Roger de Beaumont, and Roger of Montgomery. Although many of the Norman nobles engaged in their own private wars and feuds during William's minority, the viscounts still acknowledged the ducal government, and the ecclesiastical hierarchy was supportive of William. Column at the site of the Battle of Val-C(s-Dunes King Henry continued to support the young duke, but in late 1046 opponents of William came together in a rebellion centred in lower Normandy, led by Guy of Burgund ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2022 04:02:41 -0400 From: "Customer Survey" Subject: BONUS: $90 JOHNSON & JOHNSON Gift Card Opportunity BONUS: $90 JOHNSON & JOHNSON Gift Card Opportunity http://articblastz.sa.com/8D3TkyYjhthmmjPXMxQlJ3i2KAIPCshL1Ft1szAkz8wpCDmjYQ http://articblastz.sa.com/nJNODaiqeVzBeWqydN-_qOaCxfutViIFsUpXYcPvqvudySYg William was the son of the unmarried Duke Robert I of Normandy and his mistress Herleva. His illegitimate status and his youth caused some difficulties for him after he succeeded his father, as did the anarchy which plagued the first years of his rule. During his childhood and adolescence, members of the Norman aristocracy battled each other, both for control of the child duke, and for their own ends. In 1047, William was able to quash a rebellion and begin to establish his authority over the duchy, a process that was not complete until about 1060. His marriage in the 1050s to Matilda of Flanders provided him with a powerful ally in the neighbouring county of Flanders. By the time of his marriage, William was able to arrange the appointment of his supporters as bishops and abbots in the Norman church. His consolidation of power allowed him to expand his horizons, and he secured control of the neighbouring county of Maine by 1062. In the 1050s and early 1060s, William became a contender for the throne of England held by the childless Edward the Confessor, his first cousin once removed. There were other potential claimants, including the powerful English earl Harold Godwinson, whom Edward named as king on his deathbed in January 1066. Arguing that Edward had previously promised the throne to him and that Harold had sworn to support his claim, William built a large fleet and invaded England in September 1066. He decisively defeated and killed Harold at the Battle of Hastings on 14 October 1066. After further military efforts, William was crowned king on Christmas Day, 1066, in London. He made arrangements for the governance of England in early 1067 before returning to Normandy. Several unsuccessful rebellions followed, but William's hold was mostly secure on England ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2022 06:24:05 -0400 From: "Online Promotions" Subject: Shopper, You can qualify to get a $90 Pizza Hut gift card!

He was thus able to assert his overlordship over the BellC*me family and compel them to act consistently with Norman interests. However, in 1052 the king and Geoffrey Martel made common cause against William at the same time as some Norman nobles began to contest William's increasing power. Henry's about-face was probably motivated by a desire to retain dominance over Normandy, which was now threatened by William's growing mastery of his duchy. William was engaged in military actions against his own nobles throughout 1053, as well as with the new Archbishop of Rouen, Mauger. In February 1054 the king and the Norman rebels launched a double invasion of the duchy. Henry led the main thrust through the county of C vreux, while the other wing, under the king's brother Odo, invaded eastern Normandy. William met the invasion by dividing his forces into two groups. The first, which he led, faced Henry. The second, which included some who became William's firm supporters, such as Robert, Count of Eu, Walter Giffard, Roger of Mortemer, and William de Warenne, faced the other invading force. This second force defeated the invaders at the Battle of Mortemer. In addition to ending both invasions, the battle allowed the duke's ecclesiastical supporters to depose Archbishop Mauger. Mortemer thus marked another turning point in William's growing control of the duchy, although his conflict with the French king and the Count of Anjou continued until 1060. Henry and Geoffrey led another invasion of Normandy in 1057 but were defeated by William at the Battle of Varaville.
