Description:William de la Pole spent half his life fighting for the Lancastrian kings in France, in the later stages of the Hundred Years War. The war cost him his father and his four brothers. Taken prisoner, he lost a fortune paying his ransom - and gained two friends: his captor, the bastard of Orleans, and the bastard’s half-brother, the famous French poet Charles of Orleans. Suffolk, also a poet, was to become Orleans’ jailer. He spent the remainder of his life trying to bring about peace between England and France. It made him the most hated man in England. This powerful true story of friendship, loyalty and treachery is the first full-length biography of an extraordinary man. It features two kings of England, Henry V and Henry VI; the astonishing Jeanne d’Arc; and the three loves of Suffolk’s life: Jacqueline of Hainault, a Flemish duchess; Malyne de Cay, a nun who bears his daughter; and the woman he marries, Alice Chaucer, granddaughter to the poet.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
