William the Conqueror's incredible journey began with a violent childhood as the illegitimate Duke of Normandy. After securing his homeland through military might, he launched the pivotal Norman Conquest of England in 1066, culminating in the Battle of Hastings.

The conquest was the single most radical change in English history, fundamentally replacing the ruling class and dramatically reshaping its language, laws, and culture.
