--------------------------------------------------
Normandy gets its name from the 10th-century Norman Vikings that settled the country. In 1066 the famous Norman Duke, William, defeated the Saxon King Harold in the Battle of Hastings, was crowned King of England and became known as William the Conqueror. For many centuries after the descendants of his Norman army governed England, creating much of the Anglo-Saxon heritage.

: how interesting: dead=interfectus

Well, that's the gist of it. "Interfectus" < "interficio," to kill, slaughter. "Interfectus *est*" = "Is Killed," not, strictly speaking "is dead." At least that's my understanding of it.

King Harold died
In this case 'est' rather stands for the passé composé: King H (has) died. Or, if it is a list of dates, it might be translated as:
1087: King Harold dies.
1087: King Harold dies.
