Product Description

Review

"Sparkling - Independent My favourite historical novelist - stylish, romantic, sharp, and witty. Her sense of period is superb, her heroines are enterprising, and her heroes dashing. I owe her many happy hours. - Margaret Drabble Wonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic. Georgette Heyer achieves what the rest of us only aspire to -Katie Fforde A writer of great Wit and style.... I've read her books to ragged shreds - Kate Fenton, Daily Telegraph


Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compulsive reading,even if you're not a history buff, 20 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Conqueror (Paperback)
Georgette Heyer's The Conqueror is a mixture of factual history and fiction ,it tells the story of William the Conqueror from his birth through his early life, his violent wooing of Princess Matilda of Flanders,to his coronation as the King of England. It is one of the best Historical fiction books I have ever read,not just for it's detail,which is stunning without being overwhelming or boring,but also for the way Georgette Heyer carrys you through this world of long ago.As always With Ms Heyers books you are guarenteed a great time,always impossible to put down.Full marks especially if you're a fan you shouldn't miss this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Duke William Hungers for the English Crown!, 9 Mar 2003
By Kimberly Gelderman (Spring Lake, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Conqueror (Paperback)
This novel is set in the time of William the Conqueror. In the beginning he struggles just to stay alive, betrayal and death lurk in every corner and he never knows who to trust. However, he manages to stay alive and because of this his determination to rule over a peaceful duchy and later England drives him. Some of his decisions shock even his most faithful servant and friend, Raoul de Harcourt. Raoul known as "The Watcher" because he sleeps outside William's door at night to protect him, really does manage to save his life more than once.

More than once I found myself admiring William, for he was complex ruler and not always ruthless. However, in the end, I still felt for Harold, who briefly became King Harold I of England, because no matter what novel I have read about the "Oath" made to William by Harold, it always seemed forced.

Once you get past the flowery chivalry-type language, you find a worthwhile page turning novel! This book was much better, by far, than The Golden Warrior by Hope Muntz (which was also forgetable!) and was more insightful of William's personality during his eventful life and leadership. It is out-of-print but well worth the time to locate and read!
