Relation Supposing Books The Scarlet Lion (William Marshal #3)

Following early beginnings as a knight in the English royal household and a champion of the tourneys, William Marshal's prowess and loyalty have been rewarded by the hand in marriage of Isabelle de Clare, heiress to great estates in England, Normandy and Ireland. Now a powerful magnate, William has weathered the difficult years of King Richard's absence on crusade and is currently serving him on campaign in Normandy while Isabelle governs their estates. All the stability William and Isabelle have enjoyed with their young and growing family comes crashing down as Richard dies and his brother John becomes King. Rebellion is stirring throughout the Angevin domains and although John has created William Earl of Pembroke, the friction between the two men leads William and Isabelle to distance themselves in Ireland. The situation escalates, with John holding their sons as hostages and seizing their English lands. The conflict between remaining loyal and rebelling over injustices committed, threatens to tear apart William and Isabelle's marriage and their family.

The Scarlet Lion, sequel to The Greatest Knight, follows William Marshal and his family now that he is married and a noble landowner rather than just an honorable knight navigating the shark-infested waters of Medieval politics. The political skills he learned as a knight come in handy, but his own life is no longer the only one at stake, and family fortunes change as quickly as kings in this time period.This book deserves a 5 star rating.

Elizabeth Chadwick is considered by most historical fiction readers to be IT. Shes the top of the field. Shes the cream of the crop. And this is one instance where I agree with the popular voice. Chadwicks novels are beautiful in their historical accuracy, their characterizations, and their storytelling ability.The Scarlet Lion follows The Greatest Knight as the second book in Elizabeth Chadwicks William Marshal series. It took me a few chapters to get into the story, but once I did, I was

4.5 stars I'm trying out a new review format from Jen @ Jenny Loves To Read1.) Reasons you chose this bookI'm a huge fan of Elizabeth Chadwick's work and The Greatest Knight was one of my favourite reads in 2008. The Scarlet Lion follows on from it and I'm happy to say it lived up to my expectations. William Marshall otherwise known as the flower of chivalry, really was The Greatest Knight. His honour, courage, and integrity are well documented and not commonplace in a time of great scheming,

Another incredible novel from Chadwick... it is a great author that can take bones of a historical person and make the reader feel as if they know them!!! A MUST read for anyone who loves historical fiction... it just doesn't get any better!!!
