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

informative slow-paced

3.0

I was looking for a book about the English Anarchy and this book was what appeared in my searches. It's really an accounting of the reign of Henry I with the Conquest and Anarchy tacked on at the front and back. I thought Spencer did a good job recounting the life and reign of Henry I but as I was looking for information and discourse on the Anarchy this book wasn't that. Also, Spencer doesn't really say much about Henry or his court. Its very much a this happened, then this happened, then this happened, etc. book.
