A Bloody Field by Shrewsbury
London: Headline, 1989. Reissue. Hardcover. Fine, fresh, unread copy in equally fine dust jacket. Reissue of the original 1972 edition. Hardcover.378 pp. It is 1399. Henry Bolingbroke, unjustly banished and deprived of his inheritance by Richard II, returns to claim his rights and deposes the king, becoming Henry IV of England. But the spectre of Richard holds sway beyond the grave, and memories of past crimes, growing doubts, and divisions cause a dangerous rift. The king has powerful enemies all too willing to take advantage of these upheavals for their own advancement, and tension mounts as characters are drawn inexorably to bloody collisions at a certain spot some two miles from Shrewsbury.
