SHVA04 William The Conqueror, Duke of Normandy - Norman Legendary Warlord

William was the only son of Robert 1, Duke of Normandy and although illegitimate was designated as heir of the Duchy. At the death of his father he struggled against potential usurpers but demonstrated quite early a maturity in judgement and political skills that let him secure his position against his rivals, even the King of France.
