He conquered England because after Edward II (the Confessor) died in 1066 without heirs, Harold Godwinson, Earl of Wessex, claimed the throne. This wasn't acceptable to William because when Harold Godwinson was captured in France, he had to make a duress (forced) oath in front of William (over the bones of two sainted bishops) saying that he would help William in becoming King of England. William invaded England and won the Battle of Hastings, in which Harold was killed. William assumed the English throne, becoming William I.
