Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, a detailed and fascinating account of the reign of Edward II, picks up where the renowned Edward I left off. Taking the throne at just twenty-three, Edward II was a man driven by immediate pleasures and desires, leading to lavish spending, a disregard for his royal duties, and an imprudent reliance on his companion, Piers Gaveston. The book traces the political and social turmoil that ensued as Edward's irresponsibility provoked conflict with the barons, leading to Gaveston's execution and exile for the king, as well as the ongoing struggle with Scotland for independence under Robert the Bruce. This book offers fresh insight into the personal life and motivations of Edward II, providing a more nuanced and sympathetic portrayal of a ruler whose reign has often been overshadowed by that of his illustrious father.
