The Scarlet Lion
The Scarlet Lion | Elizabeth Chadwick
6 posts | 13 read | 10 to read
The Legend of the Greatest Knight Lives On William Marshal's skill with a sword and loyalty to his word have earned him the company of kings, the lands of a magnate, and the hand of Isabelle de Clare, one of England's wealthiest heiresses. But he is thrust back into the chaos of court when King Richard dies. Vindictive King John clashes with William, claims the family lands for the Crown-and takes two of the Marshal sons hostage. The conflict between obeying his king and rebelling over the royal injustices threatens the very heart of William and Isabelle's family. Fiercely intelligent and courageous, fearing for the man and marriage that light her life, Isabelle plunges with her husband down a precarious path that will lead William to more power than he ever expected. "Everyone who has raved about Elizabeth Chadwick as an author of historical novels is right." -Devourer of Books on The Greatest Knight "Elizabeth Chadwick is a gifted novelist and a dedicated researcher; it doesn't get any better than that." -Sharon Kay Penman

Loved this. The 2nd in the trilogy of the life of William Marshall, this was vibrant, lush, moving … magnificent. Loved every second. What an extraordinary and fabulous life. Chadwick‘s writing, character building, and portrayal of historic events, personalities, and day-to-day life is incredible. 5/5

MsMelissa Do you have A Place Beyond Courage? It‘s about William Marshall‘s parents and is excellent 3y
TrishB Loved this too ❤️ 3y
CindiB Not yet @MsMelissa. Good to have as it is considered the first I know in this series. Got the Irish Princess yesterday which is about Isabelle‘s maternal family and her Dad too. I am looking for A Place Beyond Courage and also want to get copy of The Scarlet Lion for myself, as this was a library book. I will want to reread this series! Love how different authors capture same details … bring them more to life. Love this time period. (edited) 3y
CindiB I miss these characters already! 3y

This is my favorite Elizabeth Chadwick book to date. I am fast becoming a fan of historical fiction..... we are in the 12th/ 13th century here with William Marshal. The story , the detail , the characters, all of it makes for a powerful read. I did not expect the ending. Beautiful....

Looking forward to Templar Silks @TrishB
