He had been Duke of Normandy since 1035?
Since William I was born in 1028, he would be 8 year-old when becoming Duke of Normandy if the claim that "he had been Duke of Normandy since 1035" stands?
Background info:
William I (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Norman: Williame I; c. 1028[1] – 9 September 1087), usually known as William the Conqueror and sometimes William the Bastard,[2][a] was the first http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normans http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_monarchy, reigning from 1066 until his death in 1087. The descendant of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking raiders, he had been Duke of Normandy since 1035 under the style William II. After a long struggle to establish his power, by 1060 his hold on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normandy was secure, and he launched the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_conquest_of_England in 1066. The rest of his life was marked by struggles to consolidate his hold over England and his continental lands and by difficulties with his eldest son.

A title is a title. There have been very young kings and other royalty throughout history. I'm interested in this post, as I just returned from a trip to Normandy and was able to see the Bayeux Tapestry.
