Book I of the Norman Trilogy. William the Bastard was the result of a love affair between the son of a duke and the daughter of a tanner - and the fact that he was a bastard overshadowed his life until he learnt to be proud of the title. Fearless and dominating he was born to rule. His love for Matilda of Flanders when she scorned to marry a bastard - until he waylaid her and dragged her into the mud by her long golden plaits. Theirs was a fruitful marriage...and then came some of the most dramatic years in history, when the handsome, charming Harold ran afoul of the determined Duke of Normandy and was tricked into swearing away his kingdom over the bones of saints. The treachery and cunning led to the most fateful conflict in England's history. Cover art by Philip Gough; text illustrations by B.S. Biro.
