William the Bastard was not the first King of England. There were about a dozen Saxons and Vikings and one possibly mythological native Briton before him.

William the Conqueror, which is who he was talking about was from Normandy, and descended from Vikings.

Before him, there was also King Cnut, who was king of England, Denmark, and Norway.
