 Progress of William the Conqueror in late 1066 as he took control of England.
The Norman Conquest
 Map Explained
William first moved his invasion fleet from the River Dives in Normandy to St. Valery. The fleet landed at Pevensey without opposition and William defeated Harold at Hastings. Dover was the next target as William needed the important Channel crossing point. Canterbury fell and William marched to London. He was forced back and marched around London via Newbury and Wallingford to Berkhamsted. Here the Archbishop of York and the Earls met William and accepted him as their new king.
