William I (c. 1028 – 1087), usually known as William the Conqueror, was King of England from 1066 until his death in 1087. William was a descendant of Rollo, Duke of Normandy.[1]

Biography

From 1064 to 1066, William commanded his forces during the Breton-Norman war against Conan II, his Breton rival.[2] In the conflict's final year, when the outcome leaned in William's favor, Conan surrendered and made peace by handing over the city's keys to him.[3]

Later that year, William made an alliance with Norway's king Harald Hardrada, but because Harald later died at the Battle of Stamford Bridge, William was awarded the throne of England.[4] In December,[5] he became 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 British monarchy's personal church and where the monarchs' coronation took place.[6]

In 1078, William constructed the Tower of London and fashioned it as a maximum-security royal residence.[7]
