Lady Of The Garter Will Keep You Mesmerized!

This is the story of the amazing and captivating Princess Joan, also best known as the Black Prince's wife and Richard II's widowed mother. However, there is so much more to be told about her life.She had its fill of drama and romance. Despite a secret bethrothal when she was only 13 yrs. old, she was married to another man. The King, briefly took her for his mistress; and the common people loved her for her kindness and beauty.The Fair Maid of Kent, as she was known, was perhaps the most beautiful of all the Plantagenet women. Her passionate love story was lived against the backdrop of such great events as the victories of Crecy and Poitiers, at the brilliant court of Edward III and among his sons and daughters who had their fair share of Plantagenet pride and ambition.This is the fourth in a series by Juliet Dymoke retelling the incredible and sometimes hard-to-believe story of the Plantagenets. All of the books in the series are unfortunately out-of-print but I found them with a little persistence. I really don't understand why such outstanding novels are no longer in print, it is a shame! The following is a list of all the books in this series in reading order: A Pride of Kings, The Royal Griffin, The Lion of Mortimer, The Lady of the Garter, The Lord of Greenwich, and The Sun In Splendor.
