Not much : the main thing was about Harold being an usurper and a traitor, and William only going by the will of the last king.I think I read somewhere that the Normans tried to market their conquest as a reconquest.
Far more driven by mercenaryship and possibility of new titles (as they were mostly petty nobility or nobility at odds with the Count of Brittany)They had some soldiers from Bretagne.
Which didn't became a thing on the continent before the next century, with Moonmouth especially.They also loved the Arthur legend.
