Die Tochter des Gerbers

She was proud and beautiful. Her resistance was broken. Yet she never stopped fighting for her happiness. The young Arlette seems to be the lucky child of the Fulbert tanning family. She is not only unusually pretty but also smart and ambitious. However, when she is raped by a nobleman and becomes pregnant, she falls into despair. She is branded a whore and punished with contempt. Ashamed, Arlette rejects the advances of a young knight who admires her. Little does she know that Herluin de Conteville will become her husband and the great love of her life in a few years. Even though her most famous son, William the Conqueror, is from another man: Robert, the Duke of Normandy.
