Publisher Description
William Marshal’s prowess and loyalty as a knight in the English royal household has been rewarded by marriage to Isabelle de Clare, heiress to great estates in England, Normandy and Ireland.
But their contentment and security is shattered when King Richard dies and is succeeded by his brother John, who takes the Marshals’ sons hostage and seizes their lands. Now William must face the conflict between remaining loyal or rebelling against these injustices—and the struggle threatens to tear his marriage apart. Fiercely intelligent and courageous, Isabelle too must come to terms with what the future holds …
The Scarlet Lion is the final novel in an unforgettable standalone trilogy about William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, Regent of England—and one of the country’s greatest forgotten heroes.

"I truly enjoyed this book, but didn't want it to end! Because William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke is my ancestor I knew when he died. At the beginning of each chapter I didn't want to see the date, as they kept creeping closer to his death, which is, of course, the end of the book. This is a wonderful historical with enough history, romance, and battle to keep everyone happy."

" I love anything by Elizabeth Chadwick, she has a real talent for making the english history come alive. Perhaps if my history classes had been more like a Chadwick novel I would have done better! "

" I thought a little of it was not as easy a read as the 2nd in the series. (I just found out today there is another book in the series - before The Greatest Knight. "
— Phillip, 2/10/2014 -
" I enjoyed this descriptive story of "The Marshall" . He was a bigger than life character in real life and this book brings that to life for the reader. "
— Kimberly, 1/18/2014 -
" The final book about William Marshal and his years in service to the crown of England. I was so emotionally invested in the characters by the end of this novel that I sat down and cried for their loss. How embarassing - but says a lot about this powerful 2 part series. "
— Julia, 1/13/2014 -
" Excellent story. LONG, but it had to be and it was never boring. Ok, ok, it's not THAT long but there was a lot of story in those pages so it felt like it sometimes. "
