On a hill in Sussex near Hastings, two armies clashed in a battle that would last ten hours. On one side, Harold Godwinson, King of England for less than a year. On the other, William, Duke of Normandy, who claimed the English throne. By the end of the day, Harold was dead. William was victorious. This marked the beginning of one of the most famous conquests in medieval history. But contrary to popular belief, Hastings was not a sudden break. It was a pivotal moment in a long process. William was not just a conqueror: he was an empire builder who, for another twenty years, would shape a unique kingdom—a cross-Channel kingdom, straddling Normandy and England. Today, we will retrace the entirety of this extraordinary life. Not just the Battle of Hastings, but especially what followed: How did these two united kingdoms govern? How did two cultures, Norman and Anglo-Saxon, blend to create something new? And what legacy did William leave to Europe? From his illegitimate birth to his death in 1087, including his victories, his acts of violence, and his political innovations, we will discover, in the company of Franck Buleux, a Norman historian, a complex, often contradictory man who profoundly marked the history of England and France. _____________________________________________________________________ 🔵⚪🔴 To donate to TVL: https://tvlibertes.faites-un-don.com/ _____________________________________________________________________ 🔵 Official website: https://www.tvl.fr 🔵 Social media:   / tvlibertes   https://twitter.com/tvlofficiel?lang=fr   / tvl_officiel     / tvlofficiel   https://t.me/TVLofficiel #historyoffrance #medievalhistory #middleages
