The reckoning

A novel set in 1271 amidst the growing conflict between England and Wales. Llewelyn of Wales married Ellen de Montfort to spite Edward I; but, he found himself participating in one of the great love stories of the Middle Ages. Caught up in the power struggles and lives of these highborn are a host of lesser characters, for the devotion Llewelyn inspired in his followers was equalled only by the loyalty felt by all who came under the spell of the de Montfort family. Ranged against them was a worthy opponent, Edward I, whose power and success inspired its own support.
