I have just finished reading " The Great And Terrible King" by Marc Morris.
What an absolutely fantastic biog of one of the most influential royals of the millenium (good or bad) in my opinion. Weather you are a red lion supporter, a red dragon supporter or a 3gold leopard supporter this is a fascinating insight into the life of one of the most succesful medieval kings of England.
Written with an impartial, modern eye, Marc has bared the King for all he was worth with some amaizing insights and deeply personal views on his interpritations of the documented facts of Eddy I`s reign.
Please don`t be put off by past historians attempts at preaching to the public, read for your self, in laymens terms, an account of this most chivalric English kings life.
