| Abstract | In thirteenth-century England, King Henry III's sister Nell breaks tradition and marries Simon de Montfort, an outspoken nobleman who risks death in battle to preserve honor. This is Simon de Montfort's story--and the story of King Henry III, as weak and changeable as Montfort was brash and unbending. It is a saga of two opposing wills that would later clash in a storm of violence and betrayal, a story straight from the pages of history that brings the world of the thirteenth century completely, provocatively, and magnificently alive. Above all, this is a story of conflict and treachery, of human frailty and broken legends, a tale of pageantry and grandeur that is as unforgettable as it is real. |
