Private Tours of Normandy & Loire

Medieval Tour, Normandy - Discovering William the Conqueror

The first Norman king of England, born 1027 in Falasie and died 9th September 1087, William was the illegitimate son of Robert I, duke of Normandy. However, as Roberts only son, he became duke at the age of eight following his fathers death. He is buried in the Abbey of St. Stephen in Caen.

Williams reign is perhaps best known for two major accomplishments: The Domesday Book and the Bayeux Tapestry. The Domesday Book is invaluable for historians studying England at this time, and the Bayeux Tapestry presents an amazing artistic depiction of the Battle of Hastings.
