あらすじ・解説
Becket, Book 2
“Evans turns Becket into a flesh and blood character.” (Richard Foreman, author of Band of Brothers)
1164.
Northampton.
Thomas of London, the reluctant Archbishop of Canterbury, was an ambitious courtier who thought of nothing but pleasing his King. Now he must prove to the English church and his former master that he has been directed towards a new calling.
The fiery King Henry II and calculating Archbishop were once as close as brothers. But their professional duties impinge upon their personal relationship.
Crown and church, embodied in the persons of King and Archbishop, must confront one another.
Henry aims to subdue the rebellious clergyman in Northampton, but Thomas plans to escape to the Pope in France.
King Louis of France and Pope Alexander are both wary of supporting the Archbishop and angering the vindictive Henry.
As agents scour England for the rebel, Thomas must evade them and find allies in his perilous dispute with the English King.
The road to liberty will be a bloody one.
Recommended for fans of Ben Kane, Angus Donald, and Michael Jecks.
