In 1066, William, Duke of Normandy launched an audacious invasion of England that would forever change the island nation's history. Claiming a distant blood tie to the English throne, William met King Harold Godwinson in a fateful battle at Hastings that ensured the Norman's conquest.
In William the Conqueror, prolific 19th century author Jacob Abbott brings to life the medieval king who left an enduring mark on English culture. With vivid detail and Abbott's engaging prose, the book chronicles William's ascent as ruler of Normandy, tense rivalry with Harold, and hard-fought victory to gain the crown.
Embark on William's monumental crusade as he introduces sweeping changes to unite England under Norman rule. Abbott presents the Conqueror as a towering yet complex figure-skilled warrior and leader but also an iron-fisted ruler. Explore the blending of Anglo-Saxon and French culture under William that transformed language, architecture and society.
From volatile Viking raids to clashing swords at Hastings, this essential biography highlights one of Europe's most unforgettable kings. William the Conqueror is an adventure into the intrigue and warfare of the Middle Ages bound to enthrall young readers.
