Simon de Montfort was a man ahead of his time in the thirteenth century, a disinherited Frenchman who talked his way into an English earldom and marriage with a sister of the English king, Henry III. A charismatic, obstinate leader, Simon soon lost patience with the king''s incompetence and inability to keep his word, and found himself the champion of the common people.

It is a tale of opposing wills that would eventually clash in a storm of violence and betrayal-an irresistible saga that brings the pages of history completely, provocatively, and magnificently alive.
