Chronicle As Books Lionheart (Plantagenets #4)

They were called "The Devil's Brood," though never to their faces. They were the four surviving sons of Henry Plantagenet and Eleanor of Aquitaine. With two such extraordinary parents, much was expected of them.
But the eldest-charming yet mercurial-would turn on his father and, like his brother Geoffrey, meet an early death. When Henry died, Richard would take the throne and, almost immediately, set off for the Holy Land. This was the Third Crusade, and it would be characterized by internecine warfare among the Christians and extraordinary campaigns against the Saracens. And, back in England, by the conniving of Richard's youngest brother, John, to steal his crown.

Evaluate Out Of Books Lionheart (Plantagenets #4)

I loved it! A fascinating book, impeccably researched, which tells of a King I did not previously know much about apart from the well known historical facts. Sharon has brought Richard to life for me as a person. I highly recommend it!

A quote from Carlos Ruiz Zafón: "I think you have to be careful with research in fiction. I believe the best way to use it is to learn a lot yourself about what you're going to write, and then don't really use more than 1% of all the research you've done, at least visibly. ... the effective way to use research in fiction is to internalize it and embed its essence in the narrative fabric of the tale.

I pictured nothing but boredom, marches and battles, with a lot of killing and maiming thrown in. What I found when I actually read the novel, was an amazing tale of heroism, political intrigue, back-stabbing, and yes, marches and battles with a lot of killing and

Ms Penman - take a bow! 4.5★

I have finally finished. I really enjoyed this book and Sharon Kay Penman is the master of medieval historical fiction. It turned on its head many misconstrued ideas I had in relation to Richard the Lionheart. I like him a lot more now. I love how tactical and strategic he was. Being an Angevin no doubt helped this. After all with Eleanor Aquitaine as a mother you had to have some diplomacy skills. The book centres around Richard's involvement in the Third Crusade to Outremer and what a journey

4,5 starsI have to admit Ive never tried to read a book about Richard whilst he was on crusade. I feared it would be boring but it certainly wasnt. I confess I had a crush on him in Devils Brood so I was so excited that this book came out.Have to feel sorry for Berengaria though, even if the marriage started well. They were so ill-matched that Im surprised it started that well at all. Sometimes opposites attract and all that but sometimes its just too different.I really liked Joanna and how she
