A quarrel with the future King John destroys Fulke FitzWarin’s expectation of inheriting Whittington, the White Castle claimed by his family. Refusing to accept royal injustice, Fulke becomes an outlaw and enters a world of raids, negotiated pardons and unstable alliances while pursuing a dangerous relationship with the widowed Maude.
The struggle for Fulke’s inheritance becomes entangled with the baronial resistance that produces Magna Carta and civil war. Chadwick presents his rebellion as both a personal campaign and part of a wider conflict over kingship, law and the limits of loyalty in the Welsh Marches.
