The Windsor Deception: The great medieval saga continues

Arrows fly, swords clash, women are bedded, prizes are taken, nobles and churchmen are gulled out of their coins, and the French and Venetians are successfully blamed for things they did not do. It is the summer of year 1321. Edward the Second and his lover Lord Despenser, are being challenged by the Queen and her lover Lord Mortimer. The Queen and Mortimer want to put her son on throne as England's king with the Queen as the boy's regent and Mortimer as the de facto King. The archers are hard at work doing what great companies of free men do best when there is conflict and confusion - extracting coins from everyone. In this case getting the many different supporters of the King and Queen to each pay them to do the same thing - protect the prince. This is another story from the archives of the first of Britain's great merchant companies at the dawn of Britain's rise as a great commercial and military power - and this time the archers change England and the royal family forever.

This is a good read. It is another witty and exciting story in Martin Archer's continuing and action-packed saga about the men of a company of English archers in the medieval world's very real game of thrones. It is one of the most action-packed and wittiest stories in the saga. Flashman would be proud and Tom Brown appalled.
