David is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the life of Robert Curthose, the eldest son of William the Conqueror, exploring his complex character, political struggles, and the impact of his lineage on his destiny. David aims to present a critical examination of Robert's life, contextualizing him within the larger events of Normandy and England during the late 11th and early 12th centuries. The opening of the book introduces Robert Curthose, who is depicted as a man caught in the shadows of his more powerful family, notably his father, William the Conqueror. The narrative begins with Robert's youth, highlighting his upbringing, early promise, and gradual discontent as he struggles for recognition and power in a court dominated by ambitious relatives. Tensions escalate as he grapples with his desires for autonomy and ultimately leads to his rebellion against his father, setting the stage for a turbulent relationship marked by conflict, disappointment, and a quest for identity in a world filled with intrigue and rivalry.
