About the Book

How did William Marshal rise from poverty to become a regent of England? How did he navigate the vicious world of the Plantagenets? What was the real cause of strife between Henry Second and Thomas Becket? And between Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry? The answers are in Marc Schaeffer's novel, which weaves factual material into a mostly true story told with all the fierce vividness of the Twelfth Century.
