I want to know what William The Conqueror ate.

He was powerful and oppressive but not affluent in England; he had just sacked the country and it was a mud pit full of people who hated him and his nobles. Did he have delicious French pork with mustard in 1067? Or did they not import any of that until he was old in 1077?

He lived in a cold drafty English castle far from his home, inundated with politics and administration, barely able to pay for significant civic projects like the White Tower and the first motte and bailey version of Windsor.

WHAT DID HE EAT? We know even his son and successor William Rufus ate nothing but game meat and the occasional root vedge. Nothing like the lamb and hens and cakes that later kings would enjoy.

WHAT DID WILLIAM EAT WHILE HARRYING THE NORTH?
