A King Under Siege: Book One of The Plantagenet Legacy
Description
<p>Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</p>
Story Behind The Book
I was shopping one day and saw a stenciled phrase on the wall of a clothing store that read:
“Don’t leave your house until your hair is right,” and “cross your legs knee over knee”. I instinctively thought to myself, I could write a crap load of thoughtful, provocative and humorous sayings like that. From that night, over the next 3-6 months, I began journaling phrases inspired by that wall and fueled by my life’s happenings.

*****5 out of 5 Stars “Tellin 'Ish like it is!”<br />
Not since "The Book of Awesome," have I enjoyed reading something so entertaining, poignant & down right FUNNY! Author Regina Griffin, makes you Laugh Out Loud & reevaluate your actions - page after page. You find yourself quoting the quibs, as if they are the word of the day. Remember ‘Ish #19 “If your diet soda has zero calories, zero sugar &<br />
zero fat, what the hell are you drinking?"<br />
