This is the unique original Gouache painting by F R Exell.

In summer 1087 a rather overweight William had been in the field attempting to capture the town of Mantes, he appears to been thrown against the saddle and injured himself severely.

He died six weeks later and was buried at Caen in Normandy. He had been King of England twenty-one years.

Original artwork from a series that ran in Look and Learn in 1973 about the various invaders of England.
