This book is in Excellent pre-owned condition. There are 746 pages in this book. Published by Henry Holt and Company in 1995. December 1, 1135: The death of England's Henry I. Even as the bells toll, his barons confer edgily. Bound by oath, they must now deal with Henry's legacy, the new ruler they are sworn to obey. She is Maude, the only surviving legitimate issue of King Henry's loins. Married at eight, widowed at twenty-two, she is handsome, intelligent, brave. But she is also a commanding woman who brooks no argument, unforgiving and relentless. Some would call her dangerously arrogant. Or perhaps it is only that she is a woman, that what was fit and seemly behavior in her father the king is unacceptable in her.
