  <default_description>&quot;A marvelous literary and historical achievement...Impossible to put down.&quot;&lt;br&gt;THE BOSTON HERALD&lt;br&gt;This is Simon de Montfort's story--and the story of King Henry III, as weak and changeable as Montfort was brash and unbending. It is a saga of two opposing wills that would later clash in a storm of violence and betrayal, a story straight from the pages of history that brings the world of the thirteenth century comletely, provocatively, and magnificently alive. Above all, this is a story of conflict and treachery, of human frailty and broken legends, a tale of pageantry and grandeur that is as unforgettable as it is real....</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Engrossing historical novel in Penman's Welsh Princes series.  I thoroughly enjoyed it, despite having gotten it because I thought it was about the Simon de Montfort who did the crusade against the Cathars, and it turned out to be about that man's son!  The main characters were very complex and well...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44507274">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[2nd book in the series by Sharon Penman (a great writer!).  This book deals mainly with Simon de Montfort and his feud with King Henry (son of Prince of John).  Great tension and character developement - if you ever wondered what medieval England was really like, this is a good series to read.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I did not like this one as much as Sunne in Splendour but still really enjoyed it.  I think the problem was that I found the Simon de Montfort story and character much more compelling than the Welsh portion for some reason, and quite often wanted to get back to that part of the story. ]]></body>
