William the Conqueror

William the Conqueror is a Hero unit found in the Hastings campaign and is available in the Scenario Editor in Age of Empires II: The Conquerors. He is based on the first Norman King of England with the same name who is a descendant from Rollo but is best known for the successful Norman conquest of England. This invasion was the last time the British Isles was conquered and ruled by a foreign kingdom or country since the Roman Empire.

William the Conqueror is represented by a knight with a lance but with better stats. Like other cavalry, William the Conqueror is affected by all upgrades that affect cavalry as well as any civilization bonuses that affect them. As with all heroes, William the Conqueror can self regenerate and cannot be converted.
