William the Great (French: Guillaume le Grand; 969 – 31 January 1030) was duke of Aquitaine (as William V) and count of Poitou (as William II or III) from 990 until his death.[1] Upon the death of the emperor Henry II, he was offered the kingdom of Italy but declined to contest the title against Conrad II.
