Waleran Bigod

Waleran Bigod is one of the main antagonists in The Pillars of the Earth. He is the arch enemy of Prior Philip and is constantly trying to undermine his dream to build the Kingsbridge Cathedral. As a person, Waleran is quite impersonal and emotionless. He is, however, cunning and manipulative. Waleran often uses William Hamleigh to further his own goals to become ever more powerful and destroy Philip.
