This might be a double definition.

'william' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'example from the victor' is the second definition.
'conqueror' can be an answer for 'victor' (conqueror is a kind of victor). I am unsure of the 'example from the' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for conqueror that I've seen before include "humbler?" , "Military victor" , "William of Normandy" , "Victor, winner" , "For one, William" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
