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 each rebellion,
their often colourful 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.
