1066-1087 William I (Conqueror), 1027-1087 Duke of Normandy. Cousin Edward was in exile in Normandy in his early years, so he allied with him and promised the throne of England. After Edward's death, Harold succeeded to the throne of England, so William sent troops to occupy England. The Norman Dynasty begins.
1087-1100 William II (The Red-faced King), 1060-1100 Second son of William I. The eldest brother, Robert, succeeded to the throne of the Norman duke. He was killed by an arrow while hunting, and it is also said that he was injured by Henry I's dark arrow.
1100-1135 Henry I, 1068-1135 William I youngest son (third son). The only son William died while crossing the English Channel. Depressed by the loss of his son and the rebellion of the Count of Anjou, he died of indigestion (maybe he ate too much eel, was poisoned in the TV series?).
1135-1154 Stephen, grandson of William I. Henry I was the first to come to England to declare his succession to the throne after his death. In order to compete for the succession to the English throne, in 1153, Henry I, the son of Matilda, the daughter of Henry I, led the army to land in England. After several battles, he came to an agreement with Stephen, who continued to be king and succeeded Henry after his death. The following year Stephen died, Henry II ascended the throne, and the Plantagenet dynasty began.
