Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second book in the captivating Birth of the Plantagenets series brings the twelfth-century reign of Henry II and his wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine to vivid life, from bestselling author Blanche d’Alpuget. 1154. After years of manipulation and political cunning, young Henry II accedes to the throne of England, with the beautiful and indomitable Eleanor of Aquitaine by his side. But the kingdom he inherits is an impoverished shambles after the long, troubled reign of Stephen the Usurper. Together, the tempestuous royal couple use their charisma and shrewd diplomacy to restore England’s prestige and power, and ensure the future of their mighty dynasty. In order to replenish the English treasury, Henry appoints Thomas Becket, the unordained Archdeacon of Canterbury, as Chancellor. Becket is no ordinary man: born without rank, he is charming, quick-witted, a masterful intriguer and a lavish dresser with a genius for raising money. Beneath this lies a man seething with ambition, jealousy, treachery and desire. In a dance of scheming, vengeance and forbidden passions, during one of the most turbulent and compelling periods of English history, Henry, Eleanor and Becket fight for political power and control against forces seen and imagined – each with their own agenda, each determined to hide their own shameful secrets. ‘The character of Thomas Becket will rivet readers as they have not been riveted since Hilary Mantel’s Thomas Cromwell.’ Thomas Keneally, AO

Download or read book The Special Relationship Between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and the United States of America written by Francis S E Codjoe Jnr. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Special Relationship between Britain and America is not based on sentiments or any value. It is not a political pendulum that swings high or low depending upon the chemistry between an American President and a British Prime Minister. The Anglo-American relationship is grounded on an Eternal Truth. This truth, which reveals the identities of the British and Americans, is concealed in their national emblems the Royal Coat of Arms and the Great Seal of the USA. These crests are pregnant with mysteries. The Pyramid on the Reverse side of the Great Seal has nothing to do with the Illuminati nor the New World Order. Commentators wrongly suggest that the exceptional relationship between America and Britain is dead. These experts, who adore Monnets European Project, claim Britain is irrelevant on the international stage. So, America should treat Britain just like any other European nation. Britain is unique among the EU member states. Here is the unknown truth. A British Secret Service Agent wrote about European integration and its future before Jean Monnet, the brain behind the EU Project, was born. Our understanding of EUs existence and Britains membership of it would not be complete without the legacy of the Intelligence Officer. A free religion is the parent of a free state, and a free state of a free school. A people who are not wise enough to take care of their own religion, are very poorly prepared to be the guardians of liberties. When a nation loses her religion, she loses the right arm of power and the ability to preserve freedom. According to the Intelligence Officer, Back to the Bible should be a patriotic, as well as a religious cry; for the preservation of our liberties, and our cherished institutions, depends much upon the maintenance of the Bible-taught heart-principles and stout convictions of our fathers.

Download or read book Fife Genesis of the Kingdom written by Adrian C Grant and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2024-04-02 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many remarkable things about Fife's origins never understood before are set out in detail here – a must read for all Fifers and those with an interest in the County. Drawn together for the first time: The name “Fife” has a complete explanation. Shakespeare's story of Macduff is refuted and the correct narrative offered. Why “St Regulus” was invented and the true story of the arrival of the Bones of St Andrew. Evidence of Kenneth mac Alpin's genocide in Fife is laid bare. St Serf's true story is told – so different from what so many believe. A proper explanation is given for the many Viking place names in Fife. Corrected explanations for many place names (including Kirkcaldy and Dunfermline) are given for the first time. And much much more. The book also foreshadows several centenaries which fall in the period 2025-2030 in the hope that they will be celebrated appropriately.
