This volume begins with William the Conqueror, illegitimate son of Robert “the Devil” and first of the Norman Kings of England; and continues through Hereward the Wake, the celebrated outlaw and symbol of anti-French sentiment; the martyr Thomas Becket; and Aaron of York, “the Croesus of thirteenth-century England,” brought down by an establishment hostile to Jews.
