“In this poignant chapter, we recount the tragic tale of “The White Ship,” which sank in 1120. The ship was carrying the heir to the English throne, along with many nobles, when it met with disaster. The loss of the heir led to a succession crisis, deeply affecting the future of England. The story reflects on themes of fate, tragedy, and the far-reaching consequences of a single calamitous event.”
