I can tell you exactly how William of Normandy is regarded by the English (there wasn't a Britain for nearly a thousand years after William). He was a foreign invader who was responsible for the death of King Harold at the Battle of Hastings, and then used his Norman thugs to impose his reign over the whole of England.. It wasn't a difficult time until William turned up, and he didn't "lead troops astray"; he defeated the army of King Harold. That's it.

As a man who took what was not his.
