The silence seemed to fill every corner of the chapel, every corner of their lives. When Aubrey could endure it no longer, he said, "This night never happened. We need not refer to it again."

She visits the Queen, bypassing all of her other courtiers, and tells her about the interesting petitioner downstairs. Metcalf, Mitch (May 17, 2023).

Promise me," Gervase repeated, and if his voice was weak, his eyes burned into Justin's with mesmerizing fervor. "You must deliver this letter to her ... to the queen." Aubrey stared at his son. "As you will. You may be sure that I'll not offer again. But I want your word that you'll say nothing of this to Lord Fitz Alan." Penman received her bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Austin, she majored in history, and also received a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from Rutgers University School of Law, and later worked as a tax lawyer.

After an angry Justin confronts the Bishop of Chester, Aubrey de Quincy, and accuses the high-born churchman of being his father and hiding this fact for twenty years, he rashly leaves Aubrey's house forever. Justin had been told his mother was a whore. He believed Aubrey a benefactor who had taken pity on him. Aubrey had given Justin a home and a first-class education since he had been a baby. Justin cannot forgive Aubrey in particular for lying about his mother. I'm an avid English history fan. I especially like the period from about the 1100 - 1700. I also love a good mystery, so imagine my delight when I stumbled upon Sharon Kay Penman's "The Queen's Man"! Sharon Kay Penman has made quite a name for herself (and rightly so) in the historical fiction realm. Now she's set her sights on a mystery series too.It is well know that Richard III was captured by his enemies while his returning from the Acre crusade. He was vexed by Justin's unexpected and ill-timed arrival, and vaguely uneasy, too, with that peculiar discomfort that only Justin could provoke. Nor was his mood improved to realize that Hugh de Nonant had overheard the entire exchange. Aubrey hesitated no longer. As bad as this was, it was about to get worse. Justin was a smoldering torch; God only knew what damage would be done if he flared up there in the hall. "Come with me," he said abruptly. "We'll talk above-stairs." Metcalf, Mitch (April 5, 2023).

Retrieved March 1, 2022. El estilo narrativo es algo denso y recuerda a las obras de teatro, aunque se entiende pues pretende reflejar la época y maneras, muy aligeradas por supuesto, del siglo XVI. Es un misterio isabelino con grandes dosis investigadoras, un impresionante conglomerado de conspiraciones y espionaje, cierto sentido del humor y diálogos algo teatrales y muy vigorosos. Promise you what?" Justin asked warily, for a deathbed promise was a spiritual spider's web, sure to ensnare.

The man's face was shadowed by his leper's cloak. Whether it also hid the ravages of his disease, Justin could not tell, but he did get a glimpse of the leper's mutilated hand, with stumps where fingers ought to have been. His own plight suddenly seemed less perilous, and Justin fumbled for his money pouch, leaned over, and dropped a farthing into the alms bowl, ashamed that he could spare so little. The leper had learned, though, to be thankful for the most meagre offering, even courtesy, and wished Justin "Godspeed." Salem, Mitch (April 26, 2023).

It is 1582, and the conflict between Protestant and Catholic threatens to tear the country in two. While Queen Elizabeth I holds the reins of power, there are those whose loyalty lies with her imprisoned cousin, Mary Queen of Scots. Small wonder that Eleanor of Acquitaine is one of the most celebrated and well-known figures in all of British history - erstwhile Queen of France; later wife to Henry II and Queen of England; mother to future kings; queen dowager and regent of that English throne as her much-loved son, Richard the Lionheart, tilted against the hated Muslims during the Third Crusade; and stalwart guardian of that throne against the machinations of her last son, John, later known as the Prince of Darkness. THE QUEEN’S MAN is at once realistic, credible, informative and every bit as entertaining as a modern murder mystery but it tells the story of a brilliant mistress of Machiavellian espionage who pulled on her minion’s strings so as to keep herself alive through eight decades of continuous 12th century medieval tumult and warfare and in hopes of the return of her much loved son, Richard, from his military sojourn in the Middle East.

However, Madam soon discovers that more money and more power mean more problems. Penman manages to illuminate the alien shadow land of the Middle Ages and populate it with vital characters whose politics and passions are as vivid as our own. She writes about the medieval world with vigor, compassion, and clarity." - San Francisco Chronicle For fans of C J Sansom and S J Parris, THE QUEEN'S MAN introduces the Queen's Spy John Shakespeare in the prequel to Rory Clements' acclaimed and bestselling series of Tudor spy thrillers.
