William the Conqueror (Biography from Ancient Civilizations)
Condition: New
Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours
Price: $26.95 (It might be cheaper, visit top link)
Editorial Review: William, the son of a duke and a peasant, spent his childhood in hiding, raised among the Norman peasantry. Lords owing fealty to him would have murdered him if they had found him. He spent his early adult years fighting rebel lords for his birthright. As Duke of Normandy, he claimed the throne of England after the death of Edward the Confessor, King of England, who William said had promised to name him heir. When England refused him, he built a huge fleet, sailed across the channel, and killed Harold, the newly crowned English king, at the Battle of Hastings. One by one, English towns fell to William and his Norman army as they marched toward London. Cowering in fear, Londoners had no choice they opened the gates and made William the Conqueror their first Norman king.

William the Conqueror
Price: $0.99 (It might be cheaper, visit top link)
Editorial Review: William I of England better known as William the Conqueror, was Duke of Normandy from 1035 and King of England from 1066 to his death.
To claim the English crown, William invaded England in 1066, leading an army of Normans to victory over the Anglo-Saxon forces of Harold Godwinson (who died in the conflict) at the Battle of Hastings, and suppressed subsequent English revolts in what has become known as the Norman Conquest.
His reign, which brought Norman culture to England, had an enormous impact on the subsequent course of England in the Middle Ages. In addition to political changes, his reign also saw changes to English law, a programme of building and fortification, changes to the vocabulary of the English language, and the introduction of continental European feudalism into England.
As Duke of Normandy, he is known as William II. He was also known as William the Bastard.

The Norman Conquest: England after William the Conqueror (Critical Issues in History)
Condition: New
Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours
Price: $34.36 (It might be cheaper, visit top link)
(1 Customer Reviews)
Editorial Review: Exploring the successful Norman invasion of England in 1066, this concise and readable book focuses especially on the often dramatic and enduring changes wrought by William the Conqueror and his followers. From the perspective of a modern social historian, Hugh M. Thomas considers the conquest's wide-ranging impact by taking a fresh look at such traditional themes as the influence of battles and great men on history and by assessing how far the shift in ruling dynasty and noble elites affected broader aspects of English history. The results, Thomas convincingly shows, are both complex and surprising. In some areas where one might expect profound influence, such as government institutions, there was little change. In other respects, such as the indirect transformation of the English language, the conquest had profound and lasting effects that transformed society as a whole. With its combination of exciting narrative and clear analysis, this book will capture student interest in a range of courses on Medieval and Western history.

Pitt's 'Gallant Conqueror': The Turbulent Life of Lieutenant General William Draper
Condition: New
Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours
Price: $68.00 (It might be cheaper, visit top link)
 (2 Customer Reviews)
Editorial Review: The capture of Manila from the Spanish in October 1762 caused William Pitt the Elder to refer to the General that commanded it, William Draper, as "Manila's gallant conqueror." Draper became a figure of public controversy after becoming the victim of the political satirist "Junius," and incidentally left a lasting legacy from his involvement with drafting the laws of cricket. Using previously unpublished sources, James Dreaper has produced a groundbreaking new assessment of this powerful military figure, and a fascinating portrait of the times in which he served.

Editorial Review: Cunningham, Timothy.
The History of Our Customs, Aids, Subsidies, National Debts, and Taxes from William the Conqueror to the Present Year MDCCLXXIII. Corrected, With Several Improvements Suggested by Sir Charles Whitworth, Chairman of the Committee of Supply and Ways and Means. London: Printed for W. Griffin, 1773. [1], 396 pp. Reprinted 2006 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN-13: 978-1-58477-649-9. ISBN-10: 1-58477-649-8. Cloth. $95.
* Reprint of the second corrected edition. Originally published in 1761, this is one of the first studies of the history of taxation and the first history of English taxation. As the title suggests, this book provides a history of taxation from the Domesday Book to 1778. The various taxing acts are summarized and, after the reign of William III, are divided into the categories of customs, excise and inland duties. It is more than a bare chronicle, however. Going beyond lists of titles and summaries of the various taxing acts, it offers extensive commentary on their design and effect.
