Normandy
William first landed just outside of hastings, in Pevensey. William and his army spent 18 days there waiting for Harold Godwinson before the Battle of Hastings.
When William was named duke of Normandy and after Edward died, a council of nobles and church officials chose an English earl called Harold to replace him. William, full of anger led his Norman army in what was to be the last successful invasion of the Island of Britain: the Norman Conquest. This was basically what caused William to invade England.
There were two Dukes of Normandy named William: William I Longsword was the 2nd Duke of Normandy. William II the Conqueror was the 7th Duke of Normandy (also known as King William I).
The Normans, led by William the Conqueror, left from Normandy, a region in modern-day France, to invade England in 1066. They crossed the English Channel and landed in the southern part of England, marking the beginning of the Norman Conquest.
