The boys go back to 1066 for one of the most famous battles in history: **The Battle of Hastings** and the rise of **William the Conqueror**.
How did a Viking-descended duke from Normandy end up conquering England? Who were the **French Vikings**, and how did these descendants of Norse raiders become the Normans? We break down William’s wild claim to the English throne, Harold Godwinson, the Norman invasion, the legendary shield wall, and the battle that changed England forever.
**Vikings, Normans, kings, betrayal, and one of the most consequential battles in medieval history.**
