In our final episode of series 1, William the Conqueror shares some facts about his rise to power as the Duke of Normandy and the Norman conquests. Kennardley discovers he prefers the moniker "William the believer", that he considers himself CEO, rather than King or Duke, along with some more useful details about his rise to becoming the King of England
Join Kennardley in this entertaining, educational, slightly tongue in cheek but generally factual account of one of history's greatest military leaders.
