4.2(278)

Henry I, youngest son of William the Conqueror, seizes the English throne after his brother William Rufus dies and then defeats his elder brother Robert’s challenge to his rule. Plaidy follows a king determined to impose order on the Anglo-Norman realm through law, marriage and calculated force. His many illegitimate children contrast with the fragile legitimate succession, and the loss of his heir in the White Ship disaster casts a long shadow over the dynasty he has worked to secure.
