- Summary:
- Harold and William dramatically tells the story of two rivals -- Harold Godwinson, Earl of Wessex, and William, Duke of Normandy -- in their bitter and bloody battle for the crown and the destiny of England.
- Patterson writes of William's invasion and conquest of England from both the Norman and Anglo-Saxon points of view. After more than nine centuries, William's victory in that contest remains the most significant historical event in the English-speaking world; Harold and William resurrects that crucial clash and its enduring relevance for readers.
