The Great Roxhythe

Lord Roxhythe is a patriot. He loves his king and his county . . . in that order, with an undying passion. When faced with a mission for his king, King Charles, that many would quaver at accepting, Roxhythe accepts without hesitation. While those around him question if what is good for Charles is indeed good for England, Roxhythe does not. He is a royalist of a different age. Full intrigue, adventure, and rich details of the time and place.
