Montfort: the Revolutionary 1253 to 1260 Katherine Ashe

Battles, romance and political maneuverings make this volume of Montfort compelling reading. Restored to his titles Earl of Leicester, Steward of England, Simon as permanent ambassador to France is living contentedly in Paris when Prince Edward commits an atrocity, and the Earl must return to save him and his friends from Llewellyn. In England again, unbidden, Simon becomes entangled in the barons' revolt against King Henry's misrule. But when the barons recklessly abandon their project, he alone rescues the Provisions of Oxford -- and newborn democracy -- at risk of his life.
