William, the Duke of Normandy, became king of England in 1066 after claiming that he had a legitimate right to the throne, based on a supposed promise from King Edward the Confessor. Following King Harold II's coronation, William invaded England, leading to the pivotal Battle of Hastings. His victory in this battle, aided by strategic tactics and the element of surprise, ultimately resulted in Harold's death and William's ascension to the English throne, marking the beginning of Norman rule in England.
