It is my pleasure to have MERCEDES ROCHELLE on my blog once more, this time to throw a bright shining spotlight on the audiobook for book five in her historical fiction series, The Plantagenet Legacy.
The Agincourt King is set in the early years of the 15th century and tells the story of King Henry V.
What is the book about?
From the day he was crowned, Henry V was determined to prove the legitimacy of his house.
His father’s usurpation weighed heavily on his mind. Only a grand gesture would capture the respect of his own countrymen and the rest of Europe. He would follow in his great-grandfather Edward III’s footsteps, and recover lost territory in France. Better yet, why not go for the crown?
Poor, deranged Charles VI couldn’t manage his own barons. The civil war between the Burgundians and Armagnacs was more of a threat to his country than the English, even after Henry laid siege to Harfleur.
But once Harfleur had fallen, the French came to their senses and determined to block his path to Calais and destroy him. By the time the English reached Agincourt, they were starving, exhausted, and easy pickings. Or so the French thought.
Little did they reckon on Henry’s leadership and the stout-hearted English archers who proved, once again, that numbers didn’t matter when God was on their side.
