Book description
This book completes the splendid sequence of novels on the struggle
between the independent Welsh Princes and the growing English strength
which began with Here be Dragons, continued with Falls the Shadow and is
now completed with The Reckoning. The major figures in The Reckoning are
the splendid dominant King of England, Edward I, and The Great Llewellyn
II, Prince of Wales. His long love affair and eventual marriage with
Ellen, daughter of Simon De Montfort, provides the strong emotional
interest in the book, while the political machinations of Edward against
the Welsh and the Scots, together with Llewellyn's struggle to control
the recalcitrant Welsh Princes provides the political and military
drama.
