Norman Conquest | Vikings, Rebellion, and the English Throne | Ancient to Recent | Episode 18

The stage is set. As Edward the Confessor’s reign falters and his death throws England into crisis, two rivals begin their march toward destiny. In Normandy, Duke William proves himself against France and Anjou, crushing enemies and securing alliances that will one day fuel his claim to the English crown. In England, Harold Godwinson rises in the shadow of his father, steering the Godwin dynasty through rebellion, betrayal, and uneasy power.

From deadly feuds with the Welsh to Harold’s fateful storm-driven arrival in Normandy, this is the story of two men on a collision course. As Halley’s Comet blazes across the sky and England reels from Viking invasion, the crown lies waiting for whoever dares to seize it.
