Assuming you mean William I of England, he came to power in 1066. He is known as William the Conqueror because he defeated Harold (a nobleman who had strong claims to the throne) at the Battle of Hastings. William was from Normandy (in France ) when Edward (The king of England pre-1066) died without an heir. William had lineage claims going back for a few generations (I think that they shared a grandmother, or great grandmother) so he invaded England and took over the crown. All monarchs have since descended from him.
