William, the Duke of Normandy, brought around 7,000 soldiers to England for the invasion in 1066. This force included knights, infantry, and archers, which allowed him to successfully claim the English throne after The Battle of Hastings. The exact number of troops varies in historical accounts, but estimates generally range from 5,000 to 10,000.
