Williamtheconqueror Stories

For as long as William remembered, he had been fought over. He had been William the bastard, son of a duke and unable to claim his rightful title. And when the time came, he was never in power. He was pushed around for his wealth and influence and told he could never be more than an illegitimate son. So what happens when his ambition decides to want something more? The title of King of England. For as long as William remembered, he had scorned love. No one could look past his birth, his title, or his past. Those who did were hypocrites who had fought against him before he came to power. He had no real family, no real friends but one. But what if it was out of his hands? What if his heart told him something on the contrary when he saw the beautiful Matilda of Flanders? What if this scorned duke was destined to become the infamous William the Conqueror?

💔👑 In a world of war and whispers, one quiet queen must keep her crown from slipping - even as her own mind turns against her. 🌿⚔️ In an alternate history of King & Conqueror, Harold Godwinson never weds the famed Edith, but instead takes Edris, a gentle and introspective noblewoman whose quiet grace masks an unspoken struggle. Timid yet perceptive, Edris wins the affection of Harold's family - especially his wise father, Godwin, and his spirited siblings. But in a court built on ambition and blood, her inner battles remain unseen and unnamed: the relentless rituals and silent compulsions that no healer can understand. As Harold's reign teeters on the edge of Norman invasion, Edris must navigate the chaos of war, love, and her own uncertain place as a queen without heirs. Her story is one of invisible strength, devotion tested by destiny, and a mind trying to find order in a world unravelling. My take on the BBC's show King & Conqueror. I own nothing but Edris. I will make slight changes to the plotline versus what actually happens in history.
