Description:Dangerous Companions is the third book in a series of historical fiction about two brothers, their families and friends in the first part of the 11th century in medieval Normandy. Harald and Robert Fitzroy are companions of the Duke of Normandie who quarrelled and parted as a result of the latter’s scheming. Elder brother Robert becomes the Duke’s Chancellor while Harald is an important military leader in southern Italy. Trouble is coming in the north as the covetous King Henri of France tries to unseat Duke William and Normandy is in a constant state of siege. Unless reinforcements arrive the Duchy looks doomed and papal condemnation confounds all chances of building new alliances.

The struggles of other dynasties, notably the Anglo-Saxons of England and the crumbling Byzantine Empire, add another level of political intrigue as kings, dukes, earls and popes all compete for power.
