Historia
In 1437, the Lancaster king Henry VI ascends the throne of England after years of semi-peaceful regency. Named "The Lamb," Henry is famed more for his gentle and pious nature than his father's famous battlefield exploits; already, his dependence on his closest men has stirred whispers of weakness at court. A secret truce negotiated with France to trade British territories for a royal bride - Margaret of Anjou - sparks revolts across English territory.

Historia
In the tradition of Antonia Fraser and Alison Weir, prize-winning historian Helen Castor delivers a compelling, eye-opening examination of women and power in England, witnessed through the lives of six women who exercised power against all odds - and one who never got the chance. Exploring the narratives of the Empress Matilda, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Isabella of France, Margaret of Anjou, and other "she-wolves," as well as that of the Nine Days' Queen, Lady Jane Grey, Castor invokes a magisterial discussion of how much - and how little - has changed through the centuries.

Historia
The Wars of the Roses didn't start on the battlefield: Blood Roses traces it back to the beginning. Starting in 1245 with the founding of the House of Lancaster, Kathryn Warner follows a twisted path of political intrigue, bloody war, and fascinating characters over 200 years. From the Barons' Wars to the overthrowing of Edward II, Eleanor of Castile to Isabella of France, and true love to Loveday, Blood Roses reframes some of the biggest events of the medieval era—not as stand-alone conflicts, but as part of a long-running family feud that would have drastic consequences.

Richard of Bordeaux and Henry of Bolingbroke, cousins born just three months apart, were ten years old when Richard became king of England. They were thirty-two when Henry deposed him and became king in his place. Now, the story behind one of the strangest and most fateful events in English history (and the inspiration behind Shakespeare’s most celebrated history plays) is brought to vivid life by the acclaimed author of Blood and Roses, Helen Castor.

Historia
As a child, he was given his own suit of armor; at the age of 16, he helped defeat the French at Crecy. At Poitiers, in 1356, his victory over King John II of France forced the French into a humiliating surrender that marked the zenith of England's dominance in the Hundred Years War. As lord of Aquitaine, he ruled a vast swathe of territory across the west and southwest of France, holding a magnificent court at Bordeaux that mesmerized the brave but unruly Gascon nobility. He was Edward of Woodstock, eldest son of Edward III, and better known to posterity as "the Black Prince".

Historia
Genghis Khan was born Temujin, the son of a khan, raised in a clan of hunters migrating across the rugged steppe. Shaped by abandonment and betrayal, Temujin endured, driven by a singular fury: to survive in the face of death, to kill before being killed, and to conquer enemies who could come without warning from beyond the horizon. Through a series of courageous raids, Temujin's legend grew until he was chasing a vision: to unite many tribes into one, to make the earth tremble under the hoofbeats of 1,000 warhorses, to subject all nations and empires to his will.

Hurrah. Another Sharon Kaye Penman novel in Audio
At last we have another Sharon Kay Penman novel in Audio. Please can we have some more.
What makes Sharon Penman's historical novels set in medieval Britain so amazing is how they combine sticking quite close to historical facts, with making a thrilling read enjoyable to modern readers.
The saddest part of this book, and of the real life events it chronicles, is the suffering of the poor who find themselves at the mercy of battle-hardened soldiers, especially when on the losing end of a battle. Twenty years England was torn apart as two strong-willed people battled for what each believed rightly to be theirs.
I am amazed how much I loved Stephen and hated Maude in the beginning, and found myself completely reversed by the end.
I Highly recommend this book . This is Sharon Kaye Penman at her best.

Amazing Historical Fiction
This is one of my favorite books. It is a great novel spanning the entirety of the Anarchy over the succession in early 12th century England. This whole series is amazing.

Enjoyed the whole series.
Not a fan of the narrator's voice. It was like a fake husky sound.

Wonderful information
I enjoyed the detail in the telling of the history of the war for the crown, but could not get past the odd voice of the narrator.

Horrible performance
Wow. I wish I read the reviews first. I’m returning this because I just cannot force myself to pay attention through some of the dullest, driest, flattest delivery I have ever heard. I look forward to reading the book someday because as it stands I won’t be listening to this for 30+ hours.

I enjoyed this historical ride!
I really enjoyed this book. I loved the characters and the narrator was great. Maude was a tough woman and I liked that the author explained how the world was for women of the time.

Amazing Tale of History
Very good book that holds your interest. It was a little longer than it should have been focusing on many characters that are historic but not so important to the story. And that comes from someone who loves long books. Very good story overall.

The narrator, Anne Flosnik, made this experience even more sublime. Looking forward to reading more from this author.
