From the author of Lionheart comes the sequel, telling of the last dangerous years of Richard, Coeur de Lion's life. Taken captive by the Holy Roman Emperor while en route home--in violation of the papal decree protecting all crusaders--he was to spend fifteen months imprisoned, much of it in the notorious fortress at Trefils, from which few men ever left alive, while Eleanor of Aquitaine moved heaven and earth to raise the exorbitant ransom. For the five years remaining to him, betrayals, intrigues, wars, and illness were ever present. 20190507. Richard I King of England 1157-1199 Fiction.
