Ace the Anglo-Saxon & Norman Challenge 2026 – Time-Travel to Triumph!

William the Conqueror’s death is fixed in historical records as 9 September 1087. He had ruled England since 1066 after the Norman invasion and spent his later years in Normandy; his death occurred in Rouen, bringing his reign to a close in that year. That date is consistently cited in primary chronicles and modern histories, making it the clear answer. The other dates either occur outside his death year or do not align with the established date of his passing, so they don’t fit the historical timeline.
