William the Conqueror was not primarily an enemy of the Vikings, as he himself was a descendant of Viking settlers in Normandy. However, his conquests in England and subsequent rule could be viewed as part of the larger historical context of Viking influence and settlement in the region. The Norman Conquest in 1066 marked a shift in power dynamics in England, but it did not directly position William against the Vikings, as they had largely settled and assimilated into European culture by that time.
