🚩 William's story is truly a remarkable one. He endured a childhood in which others battled to seize his title and lands and had fought wars against his neighbours in France. But William the Conqueror is best known for his invasion of England in 1066. In the years that followed he conquered England, made agreements in Wales and turned the Scottish King into a vassal.

Going from "the Bastard" to "the Conqueror" is a pretty good way to never be questioned again so long as you live.
-
William was skilled and determined. But he also got very lucky on multiple occasions.
-
This is probably the least biased channel that makes this type of content. I feel like its pure education and no propaganda. Great content
-
Legends says that Harold's huscarls, having watching their king's demise, close ranks and fought to the last
-
Always felt Harold would’ve won had he not battled with the Vikings in the north and then marched all the way south to meet William’s forces. William had it easy.
-
I bow to the story telling ability of yours guys, simply amazing to watch. I can sit here all day and it would still feel amazing.
-
Little fact- 7:38 The town of Isigny is the origin of the name "Disney". An ancestor of Walt must certainly have been a "Seigneur D'Isigny".
-
I do have to give William his respect for being so young and having to come of age fighting his way through betrayal and he did become a great warrior leader and King 👑❤️💯💪
-
Oh can you imagine a big budget (historically accurate) telling of William I ‘the Conqueror’ in a movie trilogy 😍 such a fascinating man and his story.
-
Harold so unlucky, damn. Why he just didn't wait in London and fortify? He just entered the battle with fresh peasants and some man at arms...
-
That whole series together was great.
-
3:40 SHEEESH He must've done something HEINOUS to be attacked like that at a wedding feast.
-
Thank you for putting these together! William was one tough Bastard!!!!
-
Amazing video like usually, but I’m really looking forward for the next parts of Hannibal barca story looking forward to see new videos about it sooner ❤
-
it's like you've put all your art works into one master piece . There's something extraordinary about these feats throughout history i just can't explain sometimes but wow .
-
If Harold, after the previous battle, had not marched quite so fast, and given his men time to recuperate, and not decided to rush off into his final battle but instead take the time to raise a larger army he probably survives and wins.
-
Well put together! Need to review this a few times - hoping to hit up Normandy later this year - Love the detail in your maps
-
Damn, William did what Mongols would do 200 years early
-
Thank you again, HistoryMarche!

One thing that never seems to be mentioned is Saxon archers and the Saxon warbow. Norman archers are mentioned,obviously. But nothing about Saxon archers
