Born the illegitimate son of the Duke of Normandy, young William rose against his controversial origins to become a powerful leader. He fought to establish his power as a Duke and then used that power to take England by storm. He faced off against King Harold in the Battle of Hastings, ultimately winning the English crown. William’s legacy as “the Conqueror” is not a nice one—he achieved greatness through brutal means. What he did not only secured his own reign, however, it paved the way for the future of England.

a few of the things said were inaccurate; most memorably that the nobles would have eaten pasta. That caused me to call into question the accuracy of the rest of the information.
The depth of information was pretty poor, it's not worth a credit really.
also the narrator couldn't properly pronounce English place names, for example Southwark and Ely. If he was American I could have just let it slide but he was an Englishman so he had no excuse.

some bad errors.
