Who led the Norman invasion of England in 1066?

The battle of Hastings didn't take place in Hastings, it took place in a village nearby, now aptly named Battle. Just as the Battle of Waterloo didn't take place in Waterloo. It took place in a hamlet called Mont-Saint-Jean, just a few miles away. Waterloo was the place where Wellington rested before the battle.

King William The Conqueror ended the Anglo Saxon era of England and started the rule of the House of Normandy and he replaced the Anglo Saxon Witenagemot with the Curia Regis or King's Court.
