Fortune Made His Sword: A Novel.

PUTNAM

Owen Glendower is a name synonymous with Welsh nationalism.  Famed for instigating the Welsh Revolt against Henry IV and immortalised by Shakespeare, after his death he gained a mythical status as an Arthur-like figure who would one day return to lead the Welsh people to freedom.   Descended from the ancient royal bloodline, he was the last Welsh Prince of Wales and a towering figure on the historical stage.   He was a man ahead of his times: not just a great leader, fighter and passionate lover, but a man of exceptional strength, vision and intellect, fiercely loyal to those he loved, and that which he believed in.  Set amidst the savagery and turbulence of fifteenth century Britain, Martha Rofheart superbly brings to the life the troubled reigns of Richard II and Henry IV, and Owen Glendower.   Going behind the mists of time, Rofheart’s dramatic novel tells the story of the man who became the legend, charting his rise through the eyes of those closest to him, and the rise of ‘Glendower Country’ itself… Wales.   Praise for Martha Rofheart:   ‘A red-blooded account of war, a fine, sweep of loves and hates, a genuinely Princely last Prince of Wales.’ The Observer   ‘A turbulent period vividly caught.’ Books and Bookmen   ‘Glendower Country’ is a thrilling historical tale of adventure, endeavour and romance. It was originally published as ‘Cry “God for Glendower”’.   Martha Rofheart (1917–1990) was an American writer of historical novels, an actress and early in her career, a model. She is also the author of ‘Fortune Made His Sword’ and ‘Lionheart’.   Endeavour Press is the UK's leading independent digital publisher.

Richard of England was known as ‘Lionheart’. He was a King unbeaten in battle. His sword carved out a godlike legend from the battlefields of France to the blood-soaked sands of the Holy Land. He was England’s most romantic and heroic king, a passionate and sensitive man, great warrior, poet and musician, and a charismatic leader, blindly adored by the knights he commanded, deeply loved by more than one woman. But one woman captured his heart. She was a woman unchallenged in the lists of love. Blondelza, as daringly independent as she was beautiful. She lived by her wits and talent on the stage, and refused to yield to any man who was not her equal. In a royal court brimming with political intrigue, delicate alliances, and fierce jealousies, these two came together though all their world conspired to keep them apart — two proud and free spirits held in thrall by a passion that threatened to consume them both… In this masterly novel set in the time of the bloody Crusades and the intricate Courts of Love, the fiery Plantagenet rulers come to life: Richard’s father, the boorish womanizer, King Henry II; his mother, a legendary beauty and a unique woman of the medieval world, Eleanor of Aquitaine; his brothers the princes, vying for land and loyalty and power. And at the very centre is Richard himself and the woman he loved above all others, the talented and free-spirited Blondelza, mother of his illegitimate son, who mocked the laws of God and man.
