Publisher's summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Perfect period detail and rapturously romantic, from one of the best-known and beloved historical novelists of all time.

William the Bastard, base-born son of the Duke of Normandy, must fight the king of France to regain his Duchy.

Spurned in love by the lovely Princess Matilda, the fighting duke dares to take a whip to her in her own father's palace, before making her his bride.

Thwarted by the Saxon Earl Harold of a promise of the throne of England, William the Conqueror sails to Hastings to claim the king's crown and sceptre for his own.

Not a romance. But that’s OK…

I enjoyed the character study of William the conqueror, and the people closest to him. The friendships and alliances between the men were well done. All the history was very interesting too. Lot’s of battles and battle strategy… There was very little in the way of “romance,” so not your typical Georgette Heyer book! But as long as you adjust your expectations, it was a very well written and I enjoyed it.
