The animation tells the story of William the Conqueror’s invasion of England in 1066 and its aftermath.
It starts with the background to the invasion including the claims to the English throne made by both Harold of Wessex and William Duke of Normandy. It continues with Harold's accession to the throne and William's subsequent decision to invade.
The Norman army wins at The Battle of Hastings and William is crowned King of England shortly after.
William then sets about protecting his throne by building a number of impressive castles - the best known of which is the Tower of London.
This film is relevant for teaching History at KS1 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and 1st Level in Scotland.
