William the Conqueror, also known as William I of England, did not purchase England; he claimed it through conquest. After defeating King Harold II at The Battle of Hastings in 1066, William seized control of the kingdom. He was granted the title of King of England, effectively marking the beginning of Norman rule in England. The idea of "buying" a country is not applicable in this historical context.
