Freeman tells afresh, in short compass, the story he had told in five large volumes. He explains the English and the Normans and their early dealings, the youth of Duke William, Harold as earl and king, the two Harolds of 1066, the array on the hill at Senlac, and what the Conquest meant for England afterward.
