Fall Asleep to the ENTIRE History of William the Conqueror

William the Conqueror was the ambitious Norman duke who forever changed the course of English history. Claiming the English throne in 1066, he crossed the Channel with a formidable army and secured his legacy with a single, decisive victory at the Battle of Hastings. As king, he reshaped England from the ground up—introducing Norman castles, a new aristocracy, and the Domesday Book, one of the most remarkable administrative records of the medieval world. But his reign was also marked by fierce resistance, brutal crackdowns, and the struggle to hold together a realm divided by culture and language. In this episode, we uncover the rise, conquest, and lasting impact of William the Conqueror—the warrior king who forged a new England from the ashes of battle.
