The Tale of One of History's Greatest Love Affairs
Spring 1297. Edward I of England is furious to discover that his daughter Joanna of Acre, still officially in widow's weeds, has begun an inappropriate friendship with penniless commoner Ralph Monthermer. He immures Joanna in a nunnery and imprisons Ralph within Bristol Castle.
To the lovers, the only proof of each other's continued existence is a series of intense, heartfelt letters written in code. Their only chance of survival lies in the hands of Henry Trokelowe, sent by Edward to investigate them. But how can a confirmed bachelor even begin to understand the all-consuming passion that binds Ralph and Joanna?
