Once he consolidated his rule, a dozen years after arriving - 1066 and all that - the literal original William in this country took the epithet "The Conquerer".
As for Celtic music, you're probably thinking of Enya.
My interest in Britain's history is related mostly to the Medieval section: the times of the war with France. Battles like "Agincourt": the French knights got their asses kicked, and warfare turned to be more about "Marksmanship" than to be about "Hand to hand".
That time of history; I think Europe began to pull the rag from underneath the Islamic newborn civilizations.
My adoring to Enya began with LOTR, so yes, pretty much a green plain, the Shire, an Elvan lady singing Enya's songs.
