This book looks at the myth and reality of the story and its origins, looking at some of the possibilities of who he actually was and the period of time he came from. This book is an up-to-date guide of all the information facts and fiction of the Arthurian legend, the book is well in quite an academic way with a valuable notes and bibliography section to back it up. Would I recommend this book? I would, even some of the sceptics would enjoy it.

Very well done! Informative and very well researched without being dry or boring. I had only read historical fiction that touched on William Of Orange and not in a good way. This book sheds alot of the many challenges that he had to face. I also liked the pictures included as it saved me from having to look them up. A definite recommend.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars
A delightful & insightful portrait of five exceptional princesses, the daughters of Edward Longshanks, one of England's most revered monarchs.
An informative and utterly compelling tapestry of late 13th century English royal life through the births, educational journeys and marital destinies of five sisters and their individual roles in their father's political spectrum.
Anyone interested by Medieval civilization and its little known histories should definitely enjoy this very detailed look at royal children and their rather peripatetic upbringing during a rather tumultuous period of English history. Ms Warner has gifted us with a worthy addition to the historiography of the Plantagenets and their magnificent world. An elegant and very detailed achievement that I found personally very engrossing
& totally satisfying!

I've never read a history specifically about how England took control of Wales. It's been something that I've known about for a while, but I never read a book just about it. It's a fascinating topic and makes me remember how Welsh people, to this day, hate the English and resent the colonization that took place in Wales. A language decimated, a people pushed down and forced to conform. But, this is a fascinating read that I would like on my shelf one day.
