William the Conqueror

Directed by Gilles Grangier and Sergiu Nicolaescu

With Hervé Bellon, John Terry, Mircea Albulescu, Violeta Andrei and Marga Barbu

William's government blended elements of the English and Norman systems into a new one that laid the foundations of the later medieval English kingdom. How abrupt and far-reaching the changes were is still a matter of debate among historians, with some such as Richard Southern claiming that the Conquest was the single most radical change in European history between the Fall of Rome and the 20th century.
