love anything about William and his family. I believe I would have loved it more had I read it when I was younger and knew less about William and Matilda so could learn through the book.

A great piece of historical fiction, Plaidy takes readers through the childhood and rise to power of William the Conqueror. This book is a masterful mix of history and characterization of one of England's great rulers.
