WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR - docudrama project

1066, within a few hours, William, Duke of Normandy, will land in England.
Will the “bastard son” pull off the outrageous challenge of becoming “the Conqueror”?
This is the true story of a conquest that turned Europe upside down and has never before been depicted on screen.

In 2011, Normandy will commemorate the 1100th anniversary of its founding in 911. This creates a unique opportunity to launch a fabulous project for television about one of the most influential figures in Norman, French, British and European history, who has never before been portrayed on-screen.

Born in 1027, William first became Duke of Normandy before being crowned King of England after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. William I died in 1087 having founded the dynasty that rules the United Kingdom to this day.
