How Did William the Conqueror Hang On To Power After 1066?

1 tim•27 augusti 2026

William the Conqueror is one of the most famous figures in English history. But his coronation in 1066 was a disaster. Even as he was crowned as King of England, his future looked uncertain.

So, how did William go from this shaky start to forging the Norman dynasty?

In this first episode of a new series on the aftermath of the Norman Conquest, Tower of London curator Charles Farris is joined by Dr Marc Morris and Dr Caroline Wilhelmsson. Together, they bust some well-worn myths about William and the famous events of 1066.

How did William the Conqueror really change England, and why are we still talking about him almost 1,000 years on?
