Question

how might William of normandy have been viewed differently by the people of France and the people of England

Answer 1

William of Normandy, more commonly known as William the Conqueror, was a king who won against the Anglo-Saxons at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 AD and thus conquered the British isles. Whereas the French saw him as a great and noble conqueror, the remaining Anglo-Saxon population in England might have seen him as a foreign tyrant who ravaged their country.
