At the King's Pleasure

16/10/2014

English history waxes lyrical about the Lionheart at the siege of Nottingham, and the remarkable swathe he cut across England, but as soon as he left for Normandy, in 1194, he is quite forgotten. At the King's Pleasure follows him across the Channel and reveals the next six weeks of his arrogant, blood-thirsty life. Dieu et mon Droit. One is inclined to exclaim, 'My God!' To cause the deaths of so many men because one believes that one has the right to rule is hard for me to understand. However, the more I learn about history and listen to the news, the more I realise we are a nasty species and have changed not at all in the last eight hundred years. Fascinating to reflect on the Lionheart's impact on the lives of those close to him. This book follows that thought.
