#HenryIV

Je le savais, je le savais ! Y en a un qui n'a pas pu s'empêcher de me parler du livre de #Bayrou lorsque j'ai dit que j'avais fini mon livre sur l'enfance d'#HenryIV.
Alors faut que ce soit clair entre nous : je m'en tape du livre des autres sur HenryIV, tout comme je t'avais dit que je m'en tape de tous les cas de #cancer que tu connais, que tu te sens obligé de me raconter, quand je te dis que j'ai un #cancer
Des livres sur HenryIV y en a des tas, mais comme le mien y en a qu'un, le mien.

For those of you who love historical medieval fiction with a dark touch:

My friend Mette Holm has released a new book in her Mowbray Chronicles series today (Book 4).

I've read some of her series (not really my genre) and I will say the stories are quite detailed and fascinating, if a little too dark for my liking. But life was hard back then, even for a nobleman, full of intrigue, secrets and betrayal.

Find her book here:

Promotional image for the release of "Legacy of Kings, The Mowbray Chronicles Book 4" by Mette Holm.

A mockup of the book cover on a Kindle sits on the left side of the image, showing a medieval crown lying on a stack of leatherbound books. There is blood dripping from the crown.

The text reads:

New Release

The weather is abysmal. The granaries are empty. And Argyle Mowbray is caught in a net of rebellion and deceit.

Engraving of Windsor Castle, in bird's eye view, by Wenceslas Hollar - 250 years later, in 1658, with a new chapel. The great Round Tower on its mound, and the impressive walls, still give a good impression of the castle's appearance in the time of Henry IV & Cousin Constance.

Within months of his beheading she married another skilled jouster, briefly imprisoned by her brother #HenryIV... 🧵 5/

Here visible on the skyline is Woodbury Iron Age Hill Fort #HillFortWednesday It is a special place for me. Not only my old school house but the name of the road where my mother was born. It is the #hillfort from which #OwainGlyndŵr Welsh/ French armies had a face off with the army of the English king #HenryIV before they were starved out and returned home. In the foreground is Worcestershires largest #AncientTree #thicktrunktuedsay. #digitalArt
