Book Synopsis
New paperback - 'Where he saw virtue, his contemporaries saw betrayal...What could he possibly have done to make a success of his reign? He was, it seems, doomed by his inheritance.' Historian Ian Mortimer's description of Edward II is the starting point of Stephen Spinks' new analysis of this ultimately tragic story of sex, revenge and savagery.

Trade Review
‘You must be proud, bold, pleasant, resolute, And now and then stab as occasion serves.' -- Christopher Marlowe, Edward II
‘Stephen Spinks has made excellent use of the original sources and recent scholarship to spell out an engaging portrait of this complex and often misunderstood king. At the same time he has produced a lively and clear narrative history of a reign the relentless politics of which can often confuse.’ -- Sara Cockerill, author of Eleanor of Castile: The Shadow Queen
