A Bloody Field by Shrewsbury - Hardcover
1399: Henry Bolingbroke, banished and deprived of his inheritance by Richard II, returns to claim his rights and deposes the king, to become Henry IV of England. He is aided by the powerful lords of Northumberland, especially by his friend, Harry Percy, nicknamed Hotspur. But there are growing crises in his new kingdom, and Wales is the most pressing and troublesome of these. For although Henry's son, Prince Hal, is the nominal Prince of Wales, the Welsh have a prince of their own blood in Owen Glendower, and they are swift to rally to his rebellious call to arms. The three Henries all wish to see the House of Lancaster succeed, but their partnership holds the seeds of its own destruction. The spectre of Richard holds sway beyond the grave and the memory of past crimes causes a dangerous rift. "OUTSTANDING" PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

From Publishers Weekly:
Henry IV of England becomes jealous of the friendship between his son Prince Hal and a knight known as Hotspur in this account of events leading up to the 1303 battle of Shrewsbury. Pargeter, who also writes as Ellis Peters, serves up ``a tale compounded of romance, stirring adventure and subtle psychological insight,'' said PW.
