RICHARD THE LION-HEARTED...
Beloved author, also known to her legion of fans as Victoria Holt, tells the story of that Plantagenet scion, Richard the Lion-Hearted. Known for his fearlessness, as well as his desire to fight in the Crusades against the Infidels, he dreamt of capturing the city of Jerusalem and restoring it to the Christians. Unfortunately, his dream took him away from the governance of England, which enabled his brother, John, to cause mischief in the kingdom. Richard also had certain sexual proclivities, which made him abhor being with his wife, Berengaria. While he was mindful of his obligation to beget an heir, he did not bestir himself to do much about it.
While I love Jean Plaidy's books, this was not one of my favorites. I found some of it repetitious, especially in terms of the innuendo about Richard's alleged homosexuality. In fact, Richard came across as somewhat unlikable and naive. The book almost reads as if it were a romance novel, at times, and is not up to Ms. Plaidy's usual high standards. Still, fans of the author will get a modicum of enjoyment from this book.
