Fifteen years in the making, a landmark reinterpretation of the life of a pivotal figure in British and European history In this magisterial addition to the Yale English Monarchs series, David Bates combines biography and a multidisciplinary approach to examine the life of a major figure in British and European history. 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.… (altro)

This is the kind of study that can only be produced by someone who's spent their career studying a topic: confident in its overarching narrative and context while still highly detailed. The casual reader indeed may find this too demanding a study to make for easy reading, since for example the complicated and fragmentary nature of the contemporary source base about William the Conqueror requires David Bates to make frequent references to the comparative merits of various anonymous chroniclers. Bates is also a thoughtful historian but not an elegant prose stylist, and there are parts of this that are a bit of a slog to read. That quibble aside, this is still a fine biography and one that's about as comprehensive as it's possible to be. ( )

AVANT-PROPOS À L’ÉDITION FRANÇAISE
C’est un grand honneur de publier la traduction française de ma biographie de Guillaume le Conquérant, d’abord parue en anglais en 2016 dans la série English Monarchs de Yale University Press. La France a été le foyer de mes recherches depuis la fin des années 1960. [...]
QUELQUES RÉFLEXIONS…
Je n’ai rencontré l’historien David Douglas qu’une fois, en 1970, alors qu’il était rapporteur externe de ma thèse de doctorat. Aussi inconcevable que cela puisse paraître à la jeune génération, accoutumée à recevoir un retour presque immédiat sur ses travaux, ce n’est qu’en 2013 que j’ai appris, tandis que je travaillais sur les articles du défunt Frank Barlow, que David Douglas avait tenu mon travail en très haute estime. [...]
I LES PREMIÈRES ANNÉES
Le fils d’une concubine Les parents de Guillaume sont Robert le Magnifique, duc de Normandie de 1027 à 1035, et Herlève – Arlette. Ils ne sont pas mariés selon les règles de l’Église chrétienne, ce qui aura une influence considérable sur les interprétations de la vie, de la destinée et de la personnalité du Conquérant au fil des ans.
