This is a brilliant lesson in which your students become members of the Witan which met in 1066 to decide on who to invite to become King following Edward the Confessor's death.
The lesson gets students to work in a group to consider which candidate they would choose, and the reasons why.
To make it even more interesting you can create voice overs that are messages from William the Conqueror explaining why he should be chosen. (The file format is unsupported on TES).
The students will then vote as a class on who should become king.
This then leads to the plenary in which students are informed of the outcome of the real Witan in 1066.
