In 1066, the English were conquered by the infamous invader,
William the Conqueror. However, this is not the whole story--the
English did not roll over and die before their oppressors; far from
it. For over five years the English violently rebelled against the
invading Norman people, murdering quislings, burning towns, and
sacking cathedrals. Peter Rex tells the story of how each
rebellion, their often colorful leaders (including Hereward the
Wake, Edgar the Aetheling, and Edric the Wild) and the rebels
themselves, whom the Normans called "silvatici" or forest dwellers.
He also considers William's pacification attempts, especially his
notorious "harrying" of the north which amounted to genocide. If
you thought it was all over with King Harold's death, this book
reinforces the view that the English are not easily overcome.
