This is part 4 of the series on Montfort. I enjoyed this telling of the tale, and the contrast with the books by Sharon Kay Penman. Interesting to see the different takes on the same basic set of events, thought this series focused more centrally on Simon de Montfort, while the other was split between Montfort and Llewelyn of Wales. Very different take on Simon's wife and his relationship with the queen, too.
