<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Originally published: Great Britain: Futura Publications Limited, 1980.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The yardstick by which all historical novels are measured.* <p>Seeking power and prestige, grim, ambitious Yorkshireman Edward Morland arranges a marriage between his meek son Robert and spirited Eleanor, young ward of the influential Beaufort family. Eleanor is appalled at being forced to marry a mere sheep farmer; she is, after all, secretly in love with Richard, Duke of York.</p> <p>Yet from this apparently ill-matched union, Robert and Eleanor form a surprising connection that soon will be tested by a bloody civil war that divides families, sets neighbor against neighbor, and brings tragedy close to home.</p> <p><b><i>What Readers Are Saying: *</i></b> <p/> As a big fan of historical fiction, I found this to be one of the best in the genre. <p/> Brilliant, a definite page turner. They combine real historical events with fascinating fictional characters. <p/> The founding is a masterpiece of research into life in Middle-Age England. It is also a great start to a wonderful Dynasty--every time I buy a new book in this series, I read the whole lot again from the start. <p/> Well researched and well written, this book simply does not allow you to stop until you reach the last page--and then rush to find the next in the series.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Excellent... all history lovers will enjoy. - <strong><em>She Read a Book</em></strong><br><br>Harrod-Eagles stays true to the facts and social mores of the era, presenting a family--and a country--on the cusp of something new.
