    • CHAPTER I: THE CONQUEROR
      The Conqueror and His Companions
      by J.R. Planche, Somerset Herald. London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.

      Shortly after this [when William The Conqueror was knighted by King Henri, at about the age of twelve], Turstain, surnamed Goz, who commanded in the Hiemois, raised the standard of rebellion, and had the audacity to garrison the Castle of Falaise itself against the Duke. William, incensed by the personal insult of making his native town the head-quarters of a revolt against him, assembled his forces, and under the guidance of his guardian, Raoul de Gace, laid siege to the place. A breach was soon made in the outer walls; but night coming on prevented the assault, and before morning Turstain, foreseeing his inability to defend the castle, sought a parley, and was allowed life and liberty on condition of perpetual exile.
