Join King William as he returns to Lincoln Castle to see how work to fortify our important City is progressing.

His stepbrother commissioned a tapestry to show his most famous victory at Hastings, and it seems to be very popular. Now William is wondering if he should do the same. He’s got a local English noblewoman to consult with, and he is anxious to make sure that everyone knows that the Battle of Hastings was his victory!

He’ll be explaining about his life and asking YOU - the loyal citizens of Lincoln - to recreate his finest hour!
