Love Medieval Style,
By A Customer
This review is from: Children of Destiny (Hardcover)
Elizabeth Chadwick is the premier medieval author! Her characters come to life, and you walk every step with them.In Children of Destiny, she tells the tale of the Cathars in medieval France. It starts out in 1207, when Raoul de Montvalland and Claire d'Agen are married. For Raoul it is the fulfillment of his lifelong dream, but for Claire, there is conflict between marital happiness and her yearning to embrace fully the Cathar Faith. In 1209 a crusade is launched by the Pope against the heretic Cathars and Simon de Monfort sets about devastating Cathar strongholds in the South. Raoul, Claire and Bridget, a Cathar woman, whom Raoul is strangely attracted to, are pulled apart by the conflict, which will affect future generations. A great story, rich in historical detail, you can't put it down!
