1066 - Guillaume le Conquérant #[nn]

A battle-scarred Norman warrior dominates this striking cover — clad in chainmail and a nasal helmet flecked with blood, sword and shield in hand, his gaze utterly uncompromising. Behind him stretches what is unmistakably the Bayeux Tapestry, its embroidered scenes of cavalry and combat providing a richly historical backdrop to the figure of Guillaume le Conquérant himself. Tenderini and Weber bring one of history's most consequential years to life in this Le Lombard production that feels both epic in scope and refreshingly grounded in medieval authenticity.
