Amazon
4.0(969)

Edward I returns from crusade to inherit a kingdom and a set of ambitions that will define his long reign. Plaidy follows his marriage to Eleanor of Castile, the conquest of Wales and the increasingly bitter struggle to impose English authority over Scotland. William Wallace and other opponents emerge as resistance hardens, while the king’s family and succession remain inseparable from policy. The novel presents the ruler remembered as ‘Hammer of the Scots’ through both domestic and military conflict.
