(2023)(The first book in the Berengaria of Navarre Medieval Trilogy series)
A novel by Austin Hernon
A new page-turning Medieval saga awaits! Perfect for fans of Conn Iggulden, Robyn Young, Alison Weir and Anthony Riches.
Will Berengaria capture her king’s heart…?
1191
Eleanor of Aquitaine sets her sights on Berengaria, Princess of Navarre as a potential bride for her son, Richard the Lionheart.
Richard is determined to make his mark crusading, and might not return, so Eleanor is keen to see an heir on the way to stop his feckless younger brother John from inheriting the kingdom.
Richard is not averse to his mother’s plans for the succession, but his priority lies in fulfilling his reputation as an indomitable warrior.
Berengaria is charmed by the prospect of travelling to a distant land to marry a handsome king of a distant land but she finds she has to accompany Eleanor in a race across Europe to catch her elusive bridegroom.
War on land, storms at sea, and the risk of alienating a conniving Pope go only some way to preparing Berengaria for life with the crusading Lionheart.
Will Richard’s blood-fuelled ambition be compatible with the husband Berengaria dreams of? Can she make her mark under Eleanor’s wing?
Or will she find her new life to be a lot more than she bargained for…?
The Lionheart’s Bride is the first historical novel in The Berengaria of Navarre Medieval Trilogy. Early Plantagenet novels set during the Third Crusade and the reign of Richard the Lionheart.
