Ripples of Rebellion
When Sir Henry Samuel’s nephew, Sir Matthew, has to go to the crusades with Henry of Almain he does so reluctantly. The crusade that was almost a disaster did not begin well. With an aging king and aging regent left to rule England, it is left to lords like the Earl of Cleveland to put out the last lingering embers of the de Montfort rebellion.

About the author
Griff Hosker
309 books431 followersI was born in 1950 in Lancashire and attended a boy’s grammar school. After qualifying as an English and Drama teacher in 1972, I worked in the North East of England for the next 35 years. During that time I did write, mainly plays, pantos and musicals for the students at the three schools in which I worked.
When I stopped teaching I set up my own consultancy firm and worked as an adviser in schools and colleges in the North East of England. The new Conservative Government ended that avenue of work and in 2010 I found that I had time on my hands; having started work at the age of 15 I found the lack of work not to my liking and used the time to research the Roman invasion of Britain and begin to create a novel. The result was The Sword of Cartimandua.
My decision to begin writing was one of the best I have ever taken.

The legacy continues
A continuation of a dynasty in the North East of England. The trials and tribulations of an extended warrior family that has always fought for justice and the kingdom. A very enjoyable novel. Now I will go back to the beginning to Book 1 to once again ride with the gallant and exciting Knights of Yore. (Corny aren’t I) But truthful, this series is great to read and I now want to revisit. Griff does a wonderful job of melding fact with fiction. Enjoy
