In The White Ship, historian David Starkey uncovers the dramatic story of the sinking of the White Ship in 1120, a tragedy that shattered King Henry I's dream of a peaceful and prosperous England. Starkey paints a vivid portrait of the era, from the ambitious and ruthless Henry to the ill-fated young heir, William Adelin. He explores the complex political landscape and the social upheaval that followed the sinking, which left the kingdom in chaos and set the stage for the bloody civil war known as The Anarchy. Using meticulous research and compelling storytelling, Starkey brings to life the characters and events that shaped this pivotal moment in English history.
