| Summary | "William the Conqueror and the Rule of the Normans" by F. M. Stenton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the life and reign of William the Conqueror, exploring the transformative impact he had on both England and Normandy during the significant events surrounding the Norman Conquest of 1066. The book aims to provide an understanding of William's rule and the broader constitutional and social changes that ensued. The opening of the book introduces the historical context of the period leading up to the Norman Conquest. It begins by highlighting the earlier political landscape of Scandinavia and its influences on England, emphasizing the barbarian invasions and subsequent Scandinavian settlements. Stenton sets the stage for the discussion of William's early life and the fragile state of governance in England prior to his conquest, foreshadowing the eventual shifts in power and society that would follow his rule. The author also outlines the political relationships between Normandy, England, and the Scandinavian kingdoms, framing the narrative of William's rise and the complex dynamics that shaped his historic endeavor.
