Today is the 253rd day of the year and we celebrate Alain today. But also Alaina, Alaine, Alan… This date is marked by the death of William the Conqueror in 1087.
Here is the ephemeris for September 9. This date is marked by the death of William the Conqueror in 1087. Known as one of the greatest kings and military leaders of the Middle Ages, William left an indelible mark on the history of Europe.
Born around 1028 in Falaise, Normandy, William was the illegitimate son of Duke Robert I of Normandy. Despite this status he inherited the Duchy of Normandy at a young age and established himself as a powerful and determined leader. His greatest achievement was the conquest of England in 1066. His victory at the Battle of Hastings earned him the title of King of England.
On September 9, 1087, William the Conqueror died from a wound received during a military campaign in France. His death marked the end of an era and the beginning of the consolidation of the English monarchy under the Norman dynasty. He was buried at the Abbaye-aux-Hommes, a building he had founded in Caen, Normandy.
