Book excerpt: The iconic figure of Robert the Bruce has gone down through the centuries as one of the most remarkable leaders of all time. With equal parts tenacity and ruthlessness, he had himself crowned King of Scotland after murdering one of his most powerful rivals, and so began the rule of an indomitable military genius unafraid of breaking convention, and more than a few English heads. Indeed, it was under the leadership of King Robert that the Battle of Bannockburn took place – a famous victory snatched by a tiny Scots force against a larger, supposedly more sophisticated English foe. In King and Outlaw medieval expert Chris Brown explores the life of Robert the Bruce, whose remarkable history has merged with legend, and reveals the true story of the outlaw king.

Book excerpt: A deadly game of war entangles them. Deception endangers them. Only the impossible love found in each other’s arms can save them. Fierce Scottish warrior Robert the Bruce would do anything to release his country from English rule—and claim his rightful throne. As enemies on both sides surround him, Robert must dance a dangerous line between truth and duplicity. One misstep could topple his nation and cost him his life, yet one irresistible woman tempts him—and threatens his mission—as no other ever has. Bold beautiful Elizabeth de Burgh longs for freedom. So when she finds herself ordered by the King of England to seduce the leader of the Scottish rebellion and reveal his secrets, she yearns to fight back against their cruel plot. Except they’ve threatened to kill her beloved cousin, leaving her no choice but to comply. As she grows closer to the handsome noble Robert and the mask that hides the man who would be king is peeled away, she cannot imagine aiding in his destruction. Bound by duty and honor but ensnared by uncontainable passion, Robert and Elizabeth must determine if they are each other’s biggest threat or greatest source of strength and how much they are willing to sacrifice for the one thing neither ever imagine they’d find – extraordinary love.

Book excerpt: Winners write history. But they don't just embellish their life stories; sometimes they make sure they get away with murder.In the first part of her ground-breaking biography of Robert the Bruce, historian Dr Fiona Watson tells the shocking true story of a man who would stop at nothing to wear the Scottish crown. Descended from Norman stock but educated partly in the Gaelic world, Bruce inherited great estates in Scotland, England and Ireland, as well as an unswerving belief in his family's claim to the throne. Every move he made in the turbulent times that followed the outbreak of war between Scotland and England was designed to bring him closer to that goal and, in his desire to seize an opportunity, he was little different from his ancestors and many of the men he grew up with. It was the lengths to which Robert Bruce was prepared to go to fulfil what he saw as his destiny that stood him apart.But he was not the only one with ambitions. John Comyn of Badenoch not only had more influence, more military experience and better leadership credentials, he too had a claim to the Scottish throne. If Bruce wanted to be king, then Comyn had to die. But in murdering his rival and seizing the crown, King Robert unleashed a bloody desire for vengeance not just among the English but many of his own people. Defeated and all but deserted, he vanished into the Western Isles. Few expected him to return and fewer still that he would come back a changed man, a king reborn.

Book Synopsis Outlaw by : Charles Leland Sonnichsen
Download or read book Outlaw written by Charles Leland Sonnichsen and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "C. L. Sonnichsen's "grass-roots" history here pays off in one of the most interesting contributions ever made to the story of frontier life. The author had treated the Mitchell-Truit feud in his "Ten Texas feuds" but found this story particularly interesting. For years he continued his investigations through dozens and dozens of personal interviews so that he could piece the story together in full and in detail. The result is a book about how it was to be that relatively common person of the American West - the outlaw, hiding for years under alias but trying to live a family life. The feud which developed between the friendly Mitchell and Truit families suddenly erupted into violence and killing on a road in Mitchell's Bend. Then followed trials, the death of a teen-age boy, and the hanging of Cooney Mitchell - and the avenging murder of James Truit by Bill Mitchell. For thirty years after the murder, Bill Mitchell, alias Baldy Russell, lived the life of an outlaw in Texas and New Mexico. He married, reared a family, had friends but few neighbors, constantly prepared for the time he knew would come. When it came, his capture was swift and ingenious. Then came years of trials, jails, prison and "escape," a continuing running from the law until his death. In putting down this one full account of an outlaw, C. L. Sonnichsen has achieved an outstanding contribution to Americana. The book is enriched by many pictures from private sources."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Newbery Medal–winning author of The Hero and the Crown brings the Robin Hood legend to vivid life. Young Robin Longbow, subapprentice forester in the King’s Forest of Nottingham, must contend with the dislike of the Chief Forester, who bullies Robin in memory of his popular father. But Robin does not want to leave Nottingham or lose the title to his father’s small tenancy, because he is in love with a young lady named Marian—and keeps remembering that his mother too was gentry and married a common forester. Robin has been granted a rare holiday to go to the Nottingham Fair, where he will spend the day with his friends Much and Marian. But he is ambushed by a group of the Chief Forester’s cronies, who challenge him to an archery contest . . . and he accidentally kills one of them in self-defense. He knows his own life is forfeit. But Much and Marian convince him that perhaps his personal catastrophe is also an opportunity: an opportunity for a few stubborn Saxons to gather together in the secret heart of Sherwood Forest and strike back against the arrogance and injustice of the Norman overlords.
