  • William the Conqueror is a hero unit found in the Hastings campaign and is available in the Scenario Editor in Age of Empires II: The Conquerors. He is based on the first Norman King of England with the same name who is a descendant from Rollo but is best known for the successful Norman conquest of England. This invasion was the last time the British Isles was conquered and ruled by a foreign kingdom or country.
  • William I of England (1027 – September 9, 1087), called also William the Conqueror, William the Bastard, in French Guillaume le Conquérant and Guiillaume le Bâtard, was Duke of Normandy (as which he is known as William II,) from 1035 and King of England from 1066 to his death. To claim the English crown, William invaded England in 1066, leading an army of Normans to victory over the Anglo-Saxon forces of Harold Godwinson (who died in the conflict) at the Battle of Hastings, and suppressed subsequent English revolts in what has become known as the Norman Conquest.
  • William I (Old Norman: Williame I; c. 1028 – 9 September 1087), usually known as William the Conqueror and sometimes William the Bastard, was the first Norman King of England, reigning from 1066 until his death in 1087. The descendant of Viking raiders, he had been Duke of Normandy since 1035 under the style William II. After a long struggle to establish his power, by 1060 his hold on Normandy was secure, and he launched the Norman conquest of England in 1066. The rest of his life was marked by struggles to consolidate his hold over England and his continental lands and by difficulties with his eldest son.
