After a long struggle to establish his power, by 1060 his hold on Normandy was secure, and he launched the Norman conquest of England in 1066.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
William the Conqueror Makers of History by Jacob Abbott One of those great events in English history, which occur at distant intervals, and form, respectively, a sort of bound or landmark, to which all other events, preceding or following them for centuries, are referred, is what is called the Norman Conquest. The Norman Conquest was, in fact, the accession of William, duke of Normandy, to the English throne. This accession was not altogether a matter of military force, for William claimed a right to the throne, which, if not altogether perfect, was, as he maintained, at any rate superior to that of the prince against whom he contended. The rightfulness of his claim was, however, a matter of little consequence, except so far as the moral influence of it aided him in gaining possession. The right to rule was, in those days, rather more openly and nakedly, though not much more really, than it is now, the right of the strongest. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Book Description
In 1066, William, Duke of Normandy launched an audacious invasion of England that would forever change the island nation's history. Claiming a distant blood tie to the English throne, William met King Harold Godwinson in a fateful battle at Hastings that ensured the Norman's conquest. In William the Conqueror, prolific 19th century author Jacob Abbott brings to life the medieval king who left an enduring mark on English culture. With vivid detail and Abbott's engaging prose, the book chronicles William's ascent as ruler of Normandy, tense rivalry with Harold, and hard-fought victory to gain the crown. Embark on William's monumental crusade as he introduces sweeping changes to unite England under Norman rule. Abbott presents the Conqueror as a towering yet complex figure-skilled warrior and leader but also an iron-fisted ruler. Explore the blending of Anglo-Saxon and French culture under William that transformed language, architecture and society. From volatile Viking raids to clashing swords at Hastings, this essential biography highlights one of Europe's most unforgettable kings. William the Conqueror is an adventure into the intrigue and warfare of the Middle Ages bound to enthrall young readers.
