00:00 Guillaume the Conqueror, two sons of bastards, King of England.
00:04 My friends, I am Sentinel, the immortal man.
00:07 I will be your guide, follow me.
00:09 It all begins in 1035, at the death of his father, the Duke Robert the Magnificent.
00:13 For more than 12 years, Guillaume is a victim of reprisals, aiming to seize the Duchy of Normandy.
00:18 Miraculously, he is still alive, and Guillaume wins the support of King Henry I,
00:22 who ends this masquerade in 1047, at the Battle of Valais-Dune.
00:27 Ten years later, in 1057, Henry I finds that Guillaume has become too powerful,
00:32 and sends his troops to the Battle of Varaville.
00:34 Guillaume triumphs.
00:35 Some time later, in 1066, a relative, King Edward the Confessor of England, dies,
00:40 and Guillaume is successor.
00:41 Instead, Harold Godwinson becomes King of England.
00:44 When Harold triumphs over the Viking King Harald Hardrada at Stamford Bridge,
00:48 Guillaume the Conqueror lands in the south of England to recover his crown.
00:52 The two armies meet in 1066 at Hastings. By Guillaume the Conqueror's tactical genius, it's a victory.
01:00 King Harold dies in battle.
01:01 All the claimants to the throne thus die.
01:04 Guillaume the Conqueror becomes King of England on December 25, 1066.
01:08 Nice Christmas present.
