Amazon reviewer Amanda says "Elizabeth Chadwick is know as a master of medieval fiction and an excellent storyteller who can bring history to life. And it shows in every book she writes. I recently read For the King's Favor, my second Chadwick novel after The Greatest Knight. While I know Greatest Knight is probably one of her best-known novels, I really enjoy For the King's Favor, even more than Greatest Knight. Perhaps it was the female lead, perhaps it was the switch in themes...regardless, I enjoyed the novel more overall, and thought it was easier and comfortable to read because the writing and the historical detail just flowed together so well into a wonderfully seamless tale."
A Bittersweet Tale of Love, Loss, and the Power of Royalty
When Roger Bigod arrives at King Henry II's court to settle a bitter inheritance dispute, he becomes enchanted with Ida de Tosney, young mistress to the powerful king. A victim of Henry's seduction and the mother of his son, Ida sees in Roger a chance to begin a new life. But Ida pays an agonizing price when she leaves the king, and as Roger's importance grows and he gains an earldom, their marriage comes under increasing strain. Based on the true story of a royal mistress and the young lord she chose to marry, For the King's Favor is Elizabeth Chadwick at her best.
