William I (c. 1028 – 1087), usually known as William the Conqueror, was King of England from 1066 until his death in 1087.
William is a descendant of Rollo, Duke of Normandy. In 1066, William made an alliance with Harald Hardrada, the king of Norway, but because Harald died in battle, William finally won the throne of England.[1]
He was the first documented English King to be coronated at the Westminster Abbey, formerly a Saxon church built years earlier by King Edward the Confessor. Since then, it has served as the monarchy's personal church and where the monarchs' coronation took place.[2]
In 1078, William constructed the Tower of London and fashioned it as a maximum-security royal residence.[3]
