Ian Mortimer - The Greatest Traitor: The Life Of Sir Roger Mortimer, 1St Earl Of March

Pimlico 2004 Paperback, 377pp. The first biography of the evil genius and rebel baron who deposed and murdered Edward II One night in August 1323 a captive rebel baron, Sir Roger Mortimer, drugged his guards and escaped from the Tower of London. With the king's men-at-arms in pursuit he fled to the south coast, and sailed to France. There he was joined by Isabella, the Queen of England, who threw herself into his arms. A year later, as lovers, they returned with an invading King Edward II's forces crumbled before them, and Mortimer took power. He removed Edward II in the first deposition of a monarch in British history. Then the ex-king was apparently murdered, some said with a red-hot poker, in Berkeley Castle. Brutal, intelligent, passionate, profligate, imaginative and Sir Roger Mortimer was an extraordinary character. Foxing; spine cracked. (ISBN: 9780712697156). Fair.
