It was on the bloody battlefield of Hastings in 1066 that William, Duke of Normandy, defeated and killed the gallant but battle-weary Harold II of England. From that day on, England would never be the same - uprisings in the north were mercilessly crushed and a new ruling class of Norman Barons were gradually established. This DVD paints a unique portrait of a remarkable man who was at once a great warrior and a ruthless politician and statesman. Architect of the Domesday Book, builder of countless beautiful churches and castles, William The Conqueror`s reign truly shaped the future of the nation. Narrated by Bob Sessions.
