Item description from seller

If you want to discover the captivating life of William the Conqueror, then keep reading.The tale of William the Conqueror is written down by numerous contemporaries with various perspectives. It's a tale that would inspire some while fascinate and even terrify others. It's a tale of a man from a seemingly small land rising to rule one of the most powerful, stable kingdoms in all of Europe at the time, a kingdom that would sow the seeds of an empire that would sprout many centuries later.William's story is a fascinating yarn full of twists and turns, wins and losses, political intrigue, and good, old-fashioned raw bursts of emotion.In some ways, William's life is quite in line with the mores of his time; he would often be no different than any other medieval ruler, be they the Holy Roman emperor, the Angevine count, the Hungarian king, or the prince of Kievan Rus. But once you delve deeper into the events that occurred during the Norman king's life, you'll see just how innovative, atypical, and, for lack of a better term, different William was. From his birth at Falaise to his death at Rouen, he has been through everything that medieval Europe could throw at him, and, as is evident from hundreds of thousands of books on the subject, including this one, he stood the test of time and achieved proverbial immortality.In William the Conqueror: A Captivating Guide to the First Norman King of England Who Defeated the English Army Led by the King of the Anglo-Saxons in the Battle of Hastings, you will discover topics such asWilliam's Early Days: Birth, Childhood, Adolescence, and Early Reign over the NormansThe Conquest: Normandy and Britain in the Late 10th Century, the Battle of Hastings, and the AftermathFrom Duke to King: Ruling over England and NormandyFinal Years and DeathWilliam's Character: Personality Traits, Virtues, Flaws, and MotivationsAnd much, much more So if you want to learn more about William the Conqueror, scroll up and click the add to cart button. …
