Yes what you say is certainly true.If William had as many with him as have been claimed to have been with him he would have needed a D-Day size fleet to transport them all. Its too bad many historians fail to research who was there and continue the myth of Hastings involvment by people like Montgomery.Montgomery was a trusted follower William left behind to defend Normandy while William was off taking posession of England. Montgomery was rewarded for staying behind and protecting William's interests.
