advancing the story of Henry 1st champion, fights against Scots, Norman's, French, the holy roman empire, and rebel English, the king has enemies everywhere and an heir only a toddler. the child's mother matilda is also in danger, and our hero splits time between Normandy and the NE of England.
Great tale of war and intrigue, researched well with a cast of varied characters, describing every day life and battles intricately.
malk Williams gives another masterly performance, can't wait for book 8 as civil war between matilda and Stephen is about to flare.
