The White Ship: Conquest, Anarchy and the Wrecking of Henry I's Dream by Charles Spencer

4.0

I was interested in this book because it's focal point is the event that kicked off events in one of my favorite books, Pillars of the Earth. I enjoyed it far more than I expected. I was engaged throughout learning about all the varied characters, from William the conqueror's parents to his great grandchildren. The politicking and drama on display during this turbulent time is laid out clearly and concisely. Highly recommend.
