Elizabeth Chadwick is one of my favourite authors of historical fiction. In this book, and others of hers that I've read, she does a great job of bringing historical figures to live and giving a real flavour of what it may have been like to live in the eras she writes about. 

I've really enjoyed the first two books in the William Marshall series. He is an intriguing character who I knew nothing about previously. I will be adding the other novels she has written about him to my 'to read' pile.
