Before he became William the Conqueror, he was a boy born into scandal, danger, and survival. In this season of History Lair, we step into the shadows of 11th-century Normandy to uncover the brutal childhood, political chaos, and relentless ambition that forged one of history’s most formidable rulers.

This isn’t just the story of a conquest—it’s the making of a conqueror.
