William Harrison Ainsworth (4 February 1805 – 3 January 1882) [2] [3] was an English historical novelist born at King Street in Manchester. He trained as a lawyer, but the legal profession held no attraction for him.
William had started his conquest of England when he and his army landed in Sussex, defeating and killing English King Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings, in 1066. William's army had to suppress many rebellions to secure the kingdom. As a result of the unrest, some English nobles had sought sanctuary in Scotland at the court of Malcolm III.
