Reviews

[Michael Heath-Caldwell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Evan John investigates the era of the early 1400s in England, Scotland and at time France as Henry V makes his mark on history while Prince James, heir to the throne of Scotland as King James I is held in pleasant captivity as a hostage in various places in England. The book follows his eventual release and rule in Scotland leading up to his assassination.

[Christina Eastwood]

Very well written and as gripping as fiction but so close to the facts as to count as a history book. Unique.
