Reviews

[Ed Barton · Rating 3 out of 5]

A Decent History of William the Conqueror

The book covers the post-Roman period to about 1100 - and focuses on the rise of William the Conqueror and the subsequent rise of the Plantagenets. The book takes some liberties with “quotes” and reads as much as a fictional account as a historical one. The detail is decent, and it’s readable enough. If this is your genre, you’ll likely enjoy the book.
