David the Prince

Nigel Tranter

5 Reviews

Rated 0

Fiction, Historical fiction

Set in the 12th century, this is the incredible story of one of Scotland's greatest kings: David , the monarch who made Scotland a power for the first time

Half-Celt and half-Saxon, King David determined to take hold of his backward, patriarchal, strife-ridden country and, against all the odds, pushed and dragged it into the forefront of Christendom's advancing nations.
This is a story of independence, singlemindedness and hard-headed leadership. But also, through the turbulent years of his reign, it is a story of devotion: to the woman he admired and loved, Queen Matilda.
