William I of England was a mediæval monarch. He ruled as the Duke of Normandy from 1035 to 1087 and as King of England from 1066 to 1087. William, most notably, invaded England, leading an army of Normans to victory at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, and suppressed subsequent English revolts in what has become known as the Norman Conquest. He, thereby, became the first in a line of English monarchs that continues unbroken to this day. Wikipedia
