William the Duke of Normandy defeated the Anglo-Saxons at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 to become William I, the first Norman King of England. His wife Matilda of Flanders helped him transform English and European history.

On 14 October 1066 at "The Battle of Hastings," William the Bastard Duke of Normandy overcame personal demons and the Anglo-Saxon militia to become William I, the first Norman King of England... one of the most feared and admired leaders of all time; however, that's just half of the story. Matilda Duchess of Flanders was the other part of the world's first power couple. Together William and Matilda transformed English and European history.—SJ LeFlore
