After a decisive victory at the Battle of Hastings, he became the first Norman King of England, marking the beginning of the Norman Conquest. William's reign brought profound changes to England, including the introduction of feudalism, the establishment of a centralized monarchy, and the construction of iconic landmarks such as the Tower of London. The Norman Conquest had a lasting impact on English history, shaping its political, social, and cultural landscape for centuries to come.
