The Champion
The Champion | Elizabeth Chadwick
7 posts | 7 read | 16 to read
Alexander and Hervi de Montroi, half-brothers with no inheritance, meet in France. Hervi is a professional jouster and Alexander, fleeing the beatings of an English monastery, needs a trade. Despite misgivings, Hervi takes him on as his squire, introducing him to the travellers' immoral lifestyle. He befriends a girl, Monday, taking care of her after her parents die until, pregnant with Alexander's child, she leaves, finding shelter in a castle as a seamstress. Noticed by King John, she becomes his mistress in England, bearing his son and gaining a house. Meanwhile, Stefan has returned to England too, in the pay of an Earl - they meet again at court and, now older, fall in love. They have the King's blessing, but Monday's grandfather, now heirless, sees her as a way to gain power. She escapes his kidnapping to be reunited with Alexander on the land granted to him by the Earl.

It takes a romantic ideal and gives it life in the story of two lovers that go through a great deal before fate gives them a chance to be together, in a wonderful medieval setting. Her writing style is exciting, it sounds and feels right for the time, and is realistic. Her use of actual historical figures who shaped that world is a delight to read about, they come alive again within the pages of her stories.

Going for The Champion angle....can‘t believe this was published in 1997, feels like about 5 minutes ago.

TheKidUpstairs Time flies when you're reading good books! 5y
Melissa_J I haven‘t been reading much historical fiction set before the 19th century lately, but I need to get back to Elizabeth Chadwick! 5y
TrishB @Melissa_J I haven‘t been reading much historical at all - I prefer medieval but I‘m so fussy on authors... 5y
Melissa_J Me too! There are so few out there who can truly make that period come alive...and stick as close to possible to historical fact. 5y
TrishB @Melissa_J exactly! 5y

Thank you so much @Itchyfeetreader for cheering up this otherwise dreary Thursday by sending me this fab new book! I really enjoyed The Summer Queen so I can‘t wait to get started on this one! Like you, I also studied History and yet I don‘t know much about the Middle Ages!!! 😆 Thank you! 😘

Cathythoughts Sounds good ! Enjoy 6y
