Product Description
The Young Duke of Southumbria, dispossessed by heavy death duties and working incognito, seeks help from an older nobleman. Working together and with help from family and servants great treasures are discovered. At the same time one such discovery opens old wounds dating back more than four centuries. The duke is assisted by the best legal and archeological minds from Oxford. The crown becomes heavily involved and as close bonds form among nobles and royalty serious disputes arise between the monarch and parliament. A crisis looms, exacerbated by the leader of the opposition. Much wrangling takes place before benefits to both crown and the nation outweigh the political ambitions of the unscrupulous. The paparazzi, initially seeking political mileage soon follow the will of the multitude. The monarch wields increased authority, new nobles are created and the young duke continues to fight for his inheritance.
