"Loyalty and Beauty"
For Humfrey of Gloucester, youngest son of Henry IV, this family motto is more than a matter of heritage: it is a life creed.
Rich, charismatic and adored by the citizens of London, Humfrey is free to indulge his twin loves of women and books. But when his father dies and his eldest brother becomes Henry V, Humfrey is forced to face up to his responsibilities as a Plantagenet, and as a man. But can he serve his brother and protect the crown from the machinations of the powerful Beaufort family while continuing his roistering lifestyle, or must he give up beauty for loyalty?
The Lord of Greenwich is the fifth in Juliet Dymoke's exhilarating Plantagenet series, an epic chronicle of love, heroism, loyalty and the fierce rivalries within the Plantagenet court.
For fans of Sharon Penman and Elizabeth Chadwick.
