William the Conqueror was Duke William, a Norman duke living in Normandy. The Normans were Vikings who had invaded and settled the peninsular of Normandy in what is now France.

William was aggrieved when he heard that Harold Godwinson, an English Saxon earl, had claimed the English throne when the previous king died because he believed it had been promised to him (William).

So he invaded England and sorted the problem out. He overcame Harold's army at the Battle of Hastings and occupied the whole country. He was crowned king of England in London and divided the land between his followers.

No, William was not English even though he became King of England.

William the Conqueror was born in Normandy. Normandy was essentially its own country at the time that William was born. A great deal of Normandy had been given to the Norsemen who were marauding on the northern coasts of France. King Charles negotiated a deal for land with the Vikings to put an end to their predations and obtain their submission.

William the Conqueror descended from the Vikings who settled in Normandy. He was the great grandson of Hrolf Ganger, (Rollo, who later became Christian and changed his name to Robert). Rollo was the self-titled King of Normandy. The Norse both brought their wives with them and intermarried with the local population.

At any rate, William became the Duke of Normandy. He was related by blood to the Anglo-Saxon king of England on his Norse side and had been assured that England would become his upon the death of the current king because of that blood tie. That didn't come to fruition and England went to King Harald.

William later invaded England to claim the throne; and, in the Battle of Hastings, King Harald fell. William then became the King of England and he displaced most of the English barons with Norman nobles who had supported and followed him to England.

For a couple of generations, Normandy and England were one kingdom, divided by the British Channel. Eventually, the King Phillip of France saw his opportunity and wrested Normandy from England, making it a part of France until this day.

History books describe William the Conqueror as a Norman (which comes from Normandy).

William Duke of Normandy, was the leader of the French army who beat the Anglo-Saxon army at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He declared himself to be king and was crowned William 1 and became known as William the Conqueror.

im not sure

Fatal abdominal injuries were the cause of the death of King William I [c. 1027/1028-September 9, 1087] of England. The King was busy directing the burning of the French city of Mantes when he fell from his horse. In the process, he was injured by his saddle pommel. He died in the Convent of St Gervais, in the French city of Rouen. He was buried in the Abbaye-aux-Hommes in the French city of Caen.

in 1066 when he won the battle of hastings

The first infantry set sail from Dorset in Southern England. Other units set sail from other South England towns, notably Portsmouth.

There were cavalry (horses), foot soldiers and archers

William built his first motte and bailey castle in England at Pevensey. He utalized a Roman fort for added defence. It is possible the wooden tower on top of the motte was brought by ship ready to assemble.

One of his supporters was the Pope.

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.
