Fifteen years in the making, a landmark reinterpretation of the
life of a pivotal figure in British and European history In this
magisterial addition to the Yale English Monarchs series, David
Bates combines biography and a multidisciplinary approach to
examine the life of a major figure in British and European history.
Using a framework derived from studies of early medieval kingship,
he assesses each phase of William's life to establish why so many
trusted William to invade England in 1066 and the consequences of
this on the history of the so-called Norman Conquest after the
Battle of Hastings and for generations to come. A leading historian
of the period, Bates is notable for having worked extensively in
the archives of northern France and discovered many eleventh- and
twelfth-century charters largely unnoticed by English-language
scholars. Taking an innovative approach, he argues for a move away
from old perceptions and controversies associated with William's
life and the Norman Conquest. This deeply researched volume is the
scholarly biography for our generation.
