What did William Duke of Normandy have to do with the Hundred Years War?

He didn't. The Hundred Years War happened in the 14th and 15th centuries. The only William Duke of Normandy I know of was the guy who fought the battle of Hastings against Harold Godwinson in 1066. Admittedly William did technically cause the Hundred Years War as without him conquering England it would never have had lands in France and the wars, if any, would not have been so long.

Why did William of Normandy knights go to England with him?

As Duke of Normandy, William was the overlord of the Norman barons. These men were considered the Duke's vassals and were obligated to take up arms and provide soldiers and supplies for him in any conflict or war he became involved in. The invasion of England also brought the promise of spoils of war---money, properties and titles taken by William, who would then reward those men who had assisted him.
