Historical
Beloved author Norah Lofts brings to life the romance and
adventure of the crusading king Richard the Lionhearted
through the eyes of his most humble and trusted companion --
his lute player. One of the most renowned figures in medieval history,
Richard the Lionhearted, inspired by a vision of the Holy
Land, led his knights onto the battlefields of the Third
Crusade. During the years of fighting and intrigue,
Richard's life was intertwined with the lives of two strong,
vibrant, and drastically different women who loved him --
Berengaria, princess of Navarre, and his mother, Eleanor of
Aquitaine. While his marriage to Berengaria was ill-fated,
Eleanor loved her son with a frantic, possessive pride. But
it is Blondel, the king's lute player, who here steps
forward from the shadows to tell this tale of romance, war,
and betrayal. In her trademark style, Norah Lofts paints a
complex and human portrait of a legendary king.
