As usual, there is no simple answer. William was victorious at The Battle of Hastings (14th October 1066), following which he later claimed that he personally owned all of the land in the country.
About two weeks later he was finally accepted as king by the supporters of Edgar the Aetheling who was "king" after the death of king Harold.
Willam's actual coronation took place on Christmas Day (25th December) 1066, so that was when he "received the crown."
