Beskrivelse
My Truth Lies in the Ruins is a true story filled with adventure, romance and intrigue set among colorful landscapes of breath taking scenery: medieval castles, treacherous moats and wild lands of mist covered moors. These were the dangerous and unsettled times that followed the death of King Alexander in Scotland. Lord Douglas and his lady were in love, at peace raising their family in the Lowlands of their Douglasdale when King Edward invaded Scotland in 1296. William le Hardi Douglas was a Crusader Knight, soldier of renown; a man of core values. Equally bold in love as well as war, he kidnapped his bride from Faside Castle and Edwards grasp. Le Hardi adhered to his truth, meeting death in the Tower of London for rebellion with William Wallace. His stalwart wife Eleanora of Lovaine was a modern woman living in the 13thcentury. Lady Douglas bore the brunt of her husbands patriotism. Reduced to poverty by Edward for Williams martyred stand, she fought back; keeping her family together as they continued their fight for Scotlands National Independence. She raised three surviving sons: Hugh, Canonic Glasgow Cathedral, Archibald the Regent and Scotlands beloved knight the Good Sir James, the Black Douglas.
