  • "This glorious novel chronicles the life of William the Conqueror, the bastard son of the Duke of Normandy, from childhood until his death in 1087. He is destined to succeed his father as Duke but questions about his legitimacy mean he consistently faces challenges from potential usurpers in the Duchy to retain his title. He marries Matilda, the equally intelligent and ambitious daughter of the King of Flanders, and together they have many children. In 1066, he crosses the channel and seizes the crown of King Harold, Edward the Confessor's popular successor. This is a roller coaster account of his efforts to become sovereign and the events in his life afterwards, including his turbulent relationships with various members of his family. The first in the Norman trilogy."
