The Eagle and the Hart: The Tragedy of Richard II and Henry IV by Helen Castor is a gripping story about power struggles in medieval England. It focuses on the political drama and personal fallout that came from the clash between Richard II, known as the “white hart,” and Henry IV, the “eagle.”

Je le savais, je le savais ! Y en a un qui n'a pas pu s'empêcher de me parler du livre de #Bayrou lorsque j'ai dit que j'avais fini mon livre sur l'enfance d'#HenryIV.
Alors faut que ce soit clair entre nous : je m'en tape du livre des autres sur HenryIV, tout comme je t'avais dit que je m'en tape de tous les cas de #cancer que tu connais, que tu te sens obligé de me raconter, quand je te dis que j'ai un #cancer
Des livres sur HenryIV y en a des tas, mais comme le mien y en a qu'un, le mien.

For those of you who love historical medieval fiction with a dark touch:

My friend Mette Holm has released a new book in her Mowbray Chronicles series today (Book 4).

I've read some of her series (not really my genre) and I will say the stories are quite detailed and fascinating, if a little too dark for my liking. But life was hard back then, even for a nobleman, full of intrigue, secrets and betrayal.

Find her book here:
