Sometimes friends, more often enemies, always rivals, these four men together held Europe in the hollow of their hands.' Four great princes - Henry VIII of England, Francis I of France, Charles V of Spain and Suleiman the Magnificent - were born within a single decade. Each looms large in his country's history and, in this book, John Julius Norwich broadens the scope and shows how, against the rich background of the Renaissance and destruction of the Reformation, their wary obsession with one another laid the foundations for modern Europe. Individually, each man could hardly have been more different -- from the scandals of Henry's six wives to Charles's monasticism - but, together, they dominated the world stage. From the Field of the Cloth of Gold, a pageant of jousting, feasting and general carousing so lavish that it nearly bankrupted both France and England, to Suleiman's celebratory pyramid of 2,000 human heads (including those of seven Hungarian bishops) after the battle of Mohacs; from Anne Boleyn's six-fingered hand (a potential sign of witchcraft) that had the pious nervously crossing themselves to the real story of the Maltese falcon, Four Princes is history at its vivid, entertaining best. With a cast list that extends from Leonardo da Vinci to Barbarossa, and from Joanna the Mad to le roi grand-nez, John Julius Norwich offers the perfect guide to the most colourful century the world has ever known and brings the past to unforgettable life.

Few fantasy adventures have ever captured the imagination the way Raymond E. Feist's magical Riftwar Saga has. Praised as a creation that "invites comparison with Tolkien's Lord of the Rings" The Riftwar Saga was the tale of a young sorcerer whose destiny would forever change the fate of two enchanted realms. — Now Raymond E. Feist returns to the world of that stunning creation with a novel as electrifying as any he has ever written.The twenty years which have passed since the end of the Riftwar have been quiet and prosperous. King Lyam has ruled the nation firmly and gently. Prince Arutha has justly governed the city of Krondor. Young Jimmy the Hand has evolved from a roof-running thief into Baron James, an invaluable aide to Arutha.But the years of tranquility are destined to end. For King Lyam has produced no heir and Arutha, heir apparent, has renounced his claim to the throne--leaving Arutha's son Borric next in line for the crown. Borric and his twin brother Erland have learned a great deal about brawling, wenching, and gambling...but little else. Now they must quickly master both maturity and statecraft.Meanwhile, on the kingdom's southern horizon, the Empress of Kesh is about to celebrate her Jubilee. Arutha decides to send Borric and Erland--this is precisely the kind of diplomatic mission that could turn his foolhardy boys into reasoning adults.But little does anyone know that a seething rebillion lies just under the surface in the Keshian provinces, and that devious and deadly intrigue is the game preferred by all in the Keshian court.When as assassination attempt is made on the twins' lives--by a member of the Keshian royal family--the two princes are faced with a deadly adventure...one that will take them into the dark heart of Kesh, where grave danger and strange magics lie in wait.The work of a master storyteller at the top of his form, Prince of the Blood is epic fantasy at its very best.

It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 12 working days Children and youth have tended to be under-reported in the historical scholarship. This collection of essays recasts the historical narrative by populating premodern Scottish communities from the thirteenth to the late eighteenth centuries with their lively experiences and voices. By examining medieval and early modern Scottish communities through the lens of age, the collection counters traditional assumptions that young people are peripheral to our understanding of the political, economic, and social contexts of the premodern era. The topics addressed fall into three main sections: the experience of being a child/adolescent; representations of the young; and the construction of the next generation. The individual essays examine the experience of the young at all levels of society, including princes and princesses, aristocratic and gentry youth, urban young people, rural children, and those who came to Scotland as slaves; they draw on evidence from art, personal correspondence, material culture, song, legal and government records, work and marriage contracts, and literature.

Rumours have it that he owns the sea charts and Sir Hugh Corbett is sent to negotiate with Von Paulents. But the German visitors fall ill of some mysterious ailment and the manor of Maubisson, which has been set aside for them, is cordoned off in accordance with city health regulations.
