The narrative centers on William the Conqueror, the first Norman king of England, whose reign began in 1066 after a decisive victory at the Battle of Hastings. A descendant of Rollo, he secured his position in Normandy before launching his invasion of England following Edward the Confessor's death. The book explores his efforts to consolidate power amidst ongoing resistance, the challenges of governance, and his tumultuous relationship with his eldest son, Robert Curthose, all set against the backdrop of the transformative Norman Conquest.
