Today our story comes from the beautiful, wild seas around the Cotentin Peninsular. It begins in Barfleur, a quiet port now, but in the Midde Ages the main port for ships travelling from Normandy to England.
Long, long ago proud grandson of William the Conqueror, 17 year old William Ætheling was a veteran of medieval battles and a celebrity of his time. Tragically William's journey from Barfleur to England on the White Ship, Blanche-Nef, would change history forever.
