Description
A King's Ransom by Sharon Penman is a gripping historical novel that explores the darker years of Richard, a man whose courage and compassion became legendary. After being shipwrecked in the Mediterranean, Richard is captured by the Duke of Austria and imprisoned for 15 months, facing a treacherous fate at the hands of his enemies. As his mother Eleanor of Aquitaine travels across Europe to raise a staggering ransom, she faces her own challenges and obstacles. With the French king Philippe and Richard's brother John offering a larger sum to continue his captivity, Eleanor must use all her strength and determination to secure her son's release. Penman masterfully weaves historical detail into this striking portrayal of Richard's tumultuous years. Told with rich insight and nuance, A King's Ransom is a compelling read for those interested in historical fiction and the complexities of medieval politics.
