The Wisdom of William the Conqueror

By Hilmarj Torgrim

Battles, betrayal, and bone-deep brilliance.

The Wisdom of William the Conqueror is a sweeping, historically accurate epic chronicling the life of one of the most formidable rulers of the medieval world. Born a bastard in the shadow of Falaise, William rose through betrayal, war, and brutal perseverance to become King of England and reshape the future of Europe. From the windswept beaches of Pevensey to the ashes of York, from whispered oaths to bloody coronations, this gripping novel captures not only the events that defined his rule, but the inner cost of power, loyalty, and legacy. With richly drawn characters, unflinching emotional depth, and cinematic storytelling, this book follows William from cradle to crown to grave.

In the back, readers will find a detailed timeline of William's life, carefully curated from real historical records, to help separate myth from fact.

"Robert the rebel, Matilda the match, Odo the traitor-this is Shakespeare with modern English and actual history." -Sherman Hutchinson, literary critic
