Language: English
Release date: 09-19-13

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes
Genres: Fiction, Historical
Publisher's Summary:
Gilbert Foliot, Bishop of London, has lived through Henry IIs reign and has witnessed the terrifying civil war between Henry IIs mother, the Empress Matilda, and her cousin, Stephen; a time so traumatic that it becomes known as the Anarchy.
The greatest letter writer of the 12th Century, Gilbert Foliot, Bishop of London, gives an intimate account of one of Englands most troubled eras. Central to his account is the life of a knight he first met over 50 years earlier, Harold of Hereford.
Critic Reviews:
"A fascinating mix of fact, legend and fiction... this is storytelling at its best." (Daily Mail)
Members Reviews:
