William the Conqueror: 1061 to 1066
The battlefield at Hastings is yours. Harold is dead, and so are his two brothers. The house of Godwin is destroyed. London is yours for the taking. Slowly you work your way toward the captial city, your army divided into three columns for ease in foraging. Late in December, your whole strength is massed outside the walls, and you construct siege machines. But the fight has gone out of the English. They submit to your rule, and on Christmas day you are crowned.
The story doesn't end here, of course: twenty years of turbulent rule, putting down rebellions, punishing your defiant subjects, lie ahead of you. But you have won the epithet that history remembers you by, William the Conqueror.
