He was Duke of Normandy , under the name of William II, from 1035 to 1066, and King of England, under the name of William I, from 1066 to his death.

      The story of the victorious conquest of England by William (Duke of Normandy) in 1066 (where he became king) is recorded in a very expressive depiction on a richly illustrated carpet. This "Tapisserie de Bayeux" - which has been preserved to this day and is even a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its importance - is on display in a museum there and can be found here as a komoot hiking highlight:
