"Master Wace, His Chronicle of the Norman Conquest From the Roman De Rou" by Wace is a historical account written in the 12th century. The work chronicles the events leading up to and surrounding the Norman Conquest of England, particularly focusing on the key figures involved, such as William the Conqueror and various nobles of Normandy. It provides a detailed narrative of battles, political alliances, and personal conflicts that characterize this pivotal period in English history. At the start of the chronicle, Wace sets the stage for recounting the tumultuous years following the death of Duke Robert of Normandy. The narrative introduces William, Robert's young son, who faces rebellion from the barons and struggles to assert his authority amid a backdrop of feudal strife and political intrigue. Wace highlights the challenges William encounters, including betrayals and armed conflicts, ultimately foreshadowing the historical battles that will unfold, including the pivotal confrontation at Hastings. The text establishes a sense of urgency and drama as alliances form and chaos reigns, leading readers into a deeper exploration of the dynamics of power and the Norman legacy.
