William the Conqueror
1028 CE–1087 CE · London
William, Duke of Normandy, invaded England in 1066 and defeated King Harold at the Battle of Hastings, after which he was crowned king of England. He suppressed rebellions, replaced much of the Anglo-Saxon aristocracy with Norman lords, and commissioned the Domesday Book survey of his new realm. His conquest reshaped England's language, law, landholding, and ties to continental Europe. He ruled the joined crowns of England and Normandy until his death in 1087.
