1066 is the most famous date in English history. On 14 October, on
Senlac Hill near Hastings, a battle was fought that would change
the face of England forever. Over the next twenty years, Norman
culture was imposed on England, and English politics and society
were radically reshaped. But how much is really known about William
'the Conqueror', the Norman duke who led his men to victory on that
autumn Saturday in what was to be the last successful invasion of
England? Mark Hagger here takes a fresh look at William - his life
and leadership. As king, he spent much of his reign threatened by
rebellion and invasion. In response, he ordered castles and
strongholds to be built across the land - a symbol of the force
with which he defended his realm and which, along with Domesday
Book, England's first public record, attest to a powerful legacy.
This book provides a rounded portrait of one of England's greatest
rulers.
