Michael Jecks is a writer of more than 20 medieval novels. This is his fourth installment in the Knight Templar Mystery series.
They had all joined taking three vows: poverty, chastity, and obedience…for they were monks: warrior monks, dedicated to the protection of pilgrims in the Holy Land-until stories spread by an avaricious king who wanted their wealth for his own destroyed the order. There was one knight, however, who escaped the stake, vowing justice as he watched his innocent brothers die.
The Bishop of Exeter is visiting Crediton and it has been asked that Sir Baldwin Furnshill and Simon Puttock come to Crediton to meet the Bishop. Unfortunately before the Bishop’s arrival at the town a group of mercenaries arrives and take pillage to a
local Tavern. The captain of the Mercenaries Sir Harlod is a feared man who would kill any one who attempted to disobey him. On the night that the Bishop arrives Sir Hector finds out that all his
silver was
stolen and it is now up to Sir Baldwin and Simon to discover who stole it, but a bizarre twist to all this is that on top of Sir Hector’s silver being stolen there has also been a murder to a local tavern girl…
A tavern girl that Sir Hector has token a liking to.
What I enjoyed about this novel is that it told me and taught me a lot more about the
code of chivalry and how some people do not have any honor at all.
I would
recommend this
book to anyone who as ever read a previous book of Michael Jecks or for some that enjoys reading books of this nature. I would also recommend this book to anyone who like to learn a little bit about the code of chilvary and the way things used to work in the old days.
