Using a framework derived from studies of early medieval kingship, he assesses each phase of William's life to establish why so many trusted William to invade England in 1066 and the consequences of this on the history of the so-called Norman Conquest after the Battle of Hastings and for generations to come. A leading historian of the period, Bates is notable for having worked extensively in the archives of northern France and discovered many eleventh- and twelfth-century charters largely unnoticed by English-language scholars. Taking an innovative approach, he argues for a move away from old perceptions and controversies associated with William's life and the Norman Conquest. This deeply researched volume is the scholarly biography for our generation. 606 $aNobility$zFrance$zNormandy$vBiography 606 $aNormans$zGreat Britain$vBiography 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yWilliam I, 1066-1087 607 $aGreat Britain$xKings and rulers$vBiography 607 $aNormandy (France)$xHistory$yTo 1515 615 0$aNobility 615 0$aNormans 676 $a942.021092 700 $aBates$b David$f1945-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01033955 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148635603321 996 $aWilliam the Conqueror$92867616 997 $aUNINA
