the book is all about killing, blood, and fights there is no glory no heroism , only the facts that wars and revenge are pointless, totally POINTLESS, This is a very memorable book, with a lot of interesting information in it. I recommend it to all people that are interested in English history and the monarchy. It would be a great start for anyone wanting to know the truth behind the rumours of James and his most trusted servant.

Angus Donald (born 1965 in China [2]) is a British writer of historical fiction. As of 2020, he has released ten novels and three novellas that loosely follow the story of Alan-a-Dale. Strauss, Mark.

I soon realised that this may be the first book that centres more on Alan then on his role as accomplice with Robin. We see him struggle with his role as a Father and as a Lord to protect and safeguard not just his family but the people of his lands against the growing financial tyranny of King John.

Still, some short passages of the novel describe a long time passing, and it felt like certain parts were just brushed over, giving the novel the feel that it was perhaps shorter than it could or should have been. Where in the first two novels, you were there with Berren nearly every day, and at every step, this novel spans several years, and some of it felt a bit too much like it was a step up to the integration into the other series that Deas is writing.The author's youthfulness helps to assure the inevitable comparison with the Anne Frank diary although over and above the sphere of suffering shared, and in this case extended to the death march itself, there is no spiritual or emotional legacy here to offset any reader reluctance.

The descriptions of battle scenes and tactics are brilliantly detailed and described with such vigour that Mr Donald ensures that the reader's mind takes them there and feels the adrenaline for themselves.In 1997, King's son Dexter met with Ray and asked him, "I just want to ask you, for the record, um, did you kill my father?" Ray replied, "No. No I didn't," and King told Ray that he, along with the King family, believed him. The King family urged that Ray be granted a new trial.

I'm an idiot though and did not understand the title at all, thinking it meant 'the assassin belonging to the king' rather than 'the potential king killer'. But there we are. Was James I murdered or at least helped to his death? I didn't even know that was a rumour. I always feel a bit sorry for Charles I because his reign is a series of eventually fatal errors, well, here are some of them, plus his dad's which are similar in many ways. Ilyana is an accomplished assassin and boy, does she know it. At nine years old, after killing two soldiers who murdered her mother, her new Master, rescues her from the Emperors dungeons and sets about training her as his apprentice. Travelling the land with him, Ilyana flaunts her prowess to other guild members, and reminds them that she is the Masters chosen daughter. Moving to a new city, and setting up their operation, Ilyana and her Father hatch a plan to stop a planned merger of two lands, by murdering the groom, the Barbarian King of Wesdroga (sp?) for pay. But when Ilyana comes across (King!) Konstantin, first as a mysterious man who piques her interest, and then again in her shop, Ilyana begins to LIKE him! It doesn’t hurt that he’s enormous, rugged and annoyingly chivalrous. When they discover they share a mutual enemy, these two unlikely allies might discover that they’ve been waiting for eachother all along.

As a popular biography of George Villiers, the history works. Woolley writes with energy and vigor, if at times a gossipy tone. He plays attention to the influence of the women in Villers life, but does not do the blame everything on wives and mothers route that some biographers do. Branch, Taylor (2007). At Canaan's Edge: America in the King Years, 1965–68. New York City: Simon & Schuster. ISBN 978-0684857138. On Thursday, April 4, 1968, King was staying in room 306 at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis. The motel was owned by businessman Walter Bailey and was named after his wife. Reverend Ralph Abernathy, a colleague and friend, later told the House Select Committee on Assassinations that he and King had stayed in Room 306 at the Lorraine Motel so often that it was known as the "King–Abernathy Suite". [16]

In the book, The King's Assassin, Benjamin Woolley offers that maybe Villiers was responsible for the Kings death. The examination of the circumstances of the Kings death comes mid way through the book. The treatment of the King's maladies was overseen by the most prominent physicians available and were standard for the time. Villiers, with assistance of his mother, offered a remedy he himself had taken the year before and led to his recovery. The King agreed and received the potion and plasters. His health improved for a few days. A dramatic decline followed and James I died.
