Description
It was a day that would be remembered for centuries to come. On Senlac Ridge in 1066, William the Bastard emerged victorious from the Battle of Hastings, claiming England as his own. But the Norman conquest was far from complete.
The English people, nobility and commoners alike, refused to submit meekly to foreign rule. One man, Hereward of Bourne, would unite the resistance against William's brutal regime. His bravery, skill at arms, and unwavering commitment to his country would change the course of history.
This is the story of Hereward, a champion of the English who left an indelible mark on European history. A tale of honour, loyalty, and the struggle for freedom, Conquest is a gripping account of one man's quest to preserve the traditions of his people.
