Aka: "Guillaume le Batard dit le Conquérant de Falaise" with the titles "Duc de Normandie" (Duke of Normandy) and "Roi d'Angleterre" (King of England). "The Conqueror" Beauclerc WILLIAM. Born around 1028, William was the illegitimate son of Duke Robert I of Normandy, and Herleve (also known as Arlette), daughter of a tanner in Falaise. Known as 'William the Bastard' to his contemporaries, his illegitimacy shaped his career when he was young. On his father's death in 1035, William was recognised by his family as the heir - an exception to the general rule that illegitimacy barred succession. His great uncle looked after the Duchy during William's minority, and his overlord King Henry I of France, knighted him at the age of 15. At the age of 8 he succeeded his father as DUKE OF NORMANDY.
MATILDA was well under five feet tall; WILLIAM was short, heavy and bald.

WILLIAM was crowned KING OF ENGLAND, Dec 25, 1066 following his victory over HAROLD II at the BATTLE OF HASTINGS. He was aware of tactics used by Julius Caesar over 1120 years earlier in his conquest of England. There is a famous 11th century Bayeux Tapestry, still to be seen in Bayeux, a city of Normandy. The tapestry is a linen strip 230 feet by 20 inches showing 72 scenes of the Norman Conquest of England.

WILLIAM ordered in 1085 the compliation of the Domesday Book. An official census of the English people and their possessions. He began the English peerage system; they were called peers because they were equal. He called the nobles barons; later the more powerful barons took the title earl, and other titles were added as time passed, resulting in a peerage in order of rank; duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron.

He died after being thrown from his horse. William was buried in his abbey foundation of St Stephen at Caen. Desecrated by Huguenots (1562) and Revolutionaries (1793), the burial place of the first Norman king of England is marked by a simple stone slab.

William was the illegitimate son of Robert I, Duke of Normandy and Herleva of Falasia. William became King William I of England in 1066.
