Description
William Rufus: A Biography Frank Barlow's vivid biography offers an unconventional and flamboyant portrayal of William Rufus, the third son of William the Conqueror. This updated edition reveals a monarch who confirmed royal power in England, restored ducal rights in France, and consolidated the Norman conquest. A boisterous man with many friends, William Rufus was known for his generosity and courage, but also faced criticism from those who disapproved of his licentious and eccentric behavior. Barlow's account provides a fresh perspective on this important period of Anglo-Saxon and medieval history. This biography is an excellent choice for readers interested in the lives of extraordinary monarchs or those seeking to understand the complexities of Anglo-Norman government during William Rufus' brief but significant reign.
