Summary: "The Lives of the III. Normans, Kings of England: William the First, William the Second, Henrie the First" by I.H. is a historical account written in the early 17th century. The work recounts the lives and reigns of three significant Norman kings of England, offering insights into their backgrounds, challenges, and contributions to English history. It aims to fill a perceived gap in the historical narrative of England, emphasizing the importance of documenting the notable achievements of these rulers for the benefit of future generations. The opening of the book sets forth a dedication to Prince Charles, outlining the author's reflections on the necessity of recording history to ensure the valor of the English nation is remembered. The author expresses his earlier interactions with Henry, Prince of Wales, who lamented the neglect of English history. This reflects a broader concern for the preservation of national dignity and pride through historical documentation. The narrative then shifts to William the Conqueror's background, detailing his illegitimate birth to Duke Robert of Normandy and a commoner named Arlotte, a theme that highlights the complex social dynamics of the time. It introduces William's early challenges, his ambition, and the factors that influenced his rise to power, setting the stage for an examination of his reign as a pivotal moment in English history.
