DESCRIPTION: (from CBS's press release, August 2025) KING & CONQUEROR is the story of a clash that defined the future of a country - and a continent - for a thousand years, the roots of which stretch back decades and extend out through a pair of interconnected family dynasties, struggling for power across two countries and a raging sea. Harold of Wessex and William of Normandy were two men destined to meet at the Battle of Hastings in 1066; two allies with no design on the English throne, who found themselves forced by circumstance and personal obsession into a war for possession of the crown.
