2. WHY did William the Conqueror think he had a right to invade England in 1066? According to the Bayeaux Tapestry, Harold had been shipwrecked on the coast of Normandy, when he allegedly promised over a bible that William, a vague relative of Edward the Confessor's mother Emma, would inherit the English throne. However, up to that point it was the Witan who decided who was to be king of England, rather than deciding by such private agreements.

They are named after the dog star - Sirius. The Romans believed that hot weather came from the dog star. Thus, dog days are hot days, usually in July and August. Sirius is a star that is visible in the summer sky.
