The fifth in a series of historical novels which tell the story of the Plantagenet monarchs through the eyes of the men and women who served them, loved them, or betrayed them, and in so doing, helped shape the events of English history.Soldier, scholar, lover, Humfrey Duke of Gloucester embodied the best and the worst qualities of the Plantagenet dynasty. When Henry V wrested the throne from his cousin, Richard II, he turned to his younger brother Humfrey for support. Humfrey gave his aid with typical Plantagenet charm and energy. He also provided his own wild passions that not even his family could control.
