Buy the book from:
William Marshal’s marriage to the wealthy heiress Isabelle de Clare gives him land, family and responsibilities across England, Normandy, Wales and Ireland. The death of Richard I brings John to the throne, and the new king uses hostages, confiscation and suspicion to keep powerful nobles under control.
William tries to remain loyal without sacrificing his wife, sons or estates, while Isabelle challenges decisions that expose their family to royal vengeance. Their partnership is tested through the loss of Normandy, Magna Carta and civil war, culminating in William’s final service as guardian of the young Henry III and defender of the dynasty that repeatedly endangered him.
