King & Conqueror
Created by Michael Robert Johnson
On BBC One
A dignified, melancholic historical drama about two former allies driven by circumstance and ambition toward inevitable tragic collision, grounded in the political and personal stakes of succession.
Harold of Wessex and William of Normandy are two men destined to face each other at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Two former allies, neither of whom had aspired to the British throne, are forced, by circumstances and their personal obsession, to wage war over possession of the crown.
