The Norman conquest of England began on September 28,1066, as forces of Normandy led by William the Conqueror landed at Pevensey, England. William had been the designated successor of Edward the Confessor, but Harold II was crowned king instead. William's fight for the crown ended victoriously with The Battle of Hastings, in October 1066; Harold II died in the battle. William was crowned king in Westminster Abbey on Christmas Day. Normandy changed hands several times during the next 400 years, and only returned to French sovereignty in 1450.
