England, Tintagel, London, Shrewsbury, Conway Castle, Tower of London, Cumbria, Westminster Abbey, Wales and ScotlandIn the fourteenth century''s waning days, the tyrannical Richard II is knocked from his throne, and Henry IV is crowned, despite a shaky claim to the throne.Knight Matthew Hart, now in his sixties, believes he can retire to a quiet life in the wilds of Cumbria while Lancelot and Janey''s love remains more the stuff of Romances than reality.Yet, all too soon, England''s lords grow restless, betrayal is in the air, and Matthew and his family must again ride into battle on behalf of their endangered king.The fates of all the characters who grace the Knights of England series, spanning a century-including some of the most vivid battles, events and historical characters in medieval history-are resolved.Publisher''s Note: Readers with a passion for history will appreciate the author''s penchant for detail and accuracy. In keeping with the era, this story contains scenes of brutality which are true to the time and man''s timeless inhumanity. There are a limited number of sexual scenes and NO use of modern vulgarity.From the Author: There is nothing new under the sun. If we seek to understand today''s events, history will always provide the answer. By 1398 the megalomaniacal Richard II had consolidated his power, executed or banished all his enemies and destroyed all those who might speak out in opposition to him. Two years later Richard was deposed, thrown into a dungeon in Pontefract Castle and starved to death.Lessons: We can never predict the future; actions always have unintended consequences; we sow the seeds of our own destruction and payback''s a bitch!THE KNIGHTS OF ENGLAND, in series orderThe Lion and the LeopardA Knight There WasWithin A Forest DarkA Child Upon The ThroneLords Among the RuinsThe Flames of Rebellion
