A Folly of Princes: House of Stewart Trilogy 2

Scotland at the dawn of the 15th century was a wretched spectacle. While

the feeble Robert III still clung to his throne, his kingdom rang with

the sound of conflict as his son and brother grappled for power.

Sir James Douglas of Aberdour, married as he was to the King's

illegitimate sister, had to tread a hazardous path through the warring

factions. But having a conscience made life harder still. For in those

days - and in that company - a conscience could cost a man dear...

The second volume of Nigel Tranter's epic House of Stewart trilogy tells

of the last days of King Robert III of Scotland and the struggle for his

throne.
