The Conquering Family
The Conquering Family: The Pageant of England | Thomas B. Costain
1 post | 4 read | 5 to read
Thomas B. Costain's four-volume history of the Plantagenets begins with THE CONQUERING FAMILY and the conquest of England by William the Conqueror in 1066, closing with the reign of John in 1216. The troubled period after the Norman Conquest, when the foundations of government were hammered out between monarch and people, comes to life through Costain's storytelling skill and historical imagination.

The “oldest book on your TBR“ challenge for #wintercleardown and #gottacatchemall motivated me to finish the 1st book in this series, which has been on my shelves for over 40 years!

This nonfiction account of the early Plantagenet kings reads like a novel. The downside is that the author takes some artistic license but the upside is that the book is very readable!
