"Earl Spencer marries for a third time". The Telegraph. London. Archived from the original on 12 January 2022 . Retrieved 27 May 2013. In an age in which it’s said we’ve ‘had enough of experts’, Spencer’s fast-paced (and immensely enjoyable) account may fare well, despite these shortcomings. But is it history? For People Who Devour Books I know I'm not the only historian who was surprised when Spencer, very well-known for his popular and riveting books on seventeenth-century Stuart history, suddenly said he was going to write about the 1100s. What?! Spencer, to me, is just synonymous with the Stuart period, so it seemed an odd move. That said, I'm really glad he wrote this because I probably wouldn't have read a history about this period otherwise. I had a vague understanding of the Conquest of 1066, that some ship sank killing an heir, and the chaos of the Anarchy, but this book fully engaged and enlightened me. I now wholly appreciate the significance of the sinking of the White Ship, which truly changed so much.
