Love and loyalty. Betrayal and murder. What is the cost of a crown?

In 1290, Scotland is without a king. Two families - the Bruces and the Balliols - vie for the throne.

Robert the Bruce is in love with Elizabeth de Burgh, the daughter of an adherent of the ruthless Longshanks, King of England. In order to marry her and not give up his chances of someday becoming King of Scots, Robert must abandon his rebel ways and bide his time as Longshanks' vassal.

But Edward, Longshanks' heir, doesn't trust the opportunistic Scotsman and vows to one day destroy him. While quietly plotting his rebellion, Robert is betrayed by one of his own and must flee Longshanks' vengeance.

Aided by the unlikely brilliance of the soft-spoken young nobleman, James Douglas, Robert battles for his throne. Victory, though, is never certain and Robert soon learns that keeping his crown may mean giving up that which he loves most-his beloved Elizabeth.

5,0 su 5 stelle Buy all three books, curl up and enjoy this most excellent writing on Robert the Bruce; King of the Scots.

This author has such a talent for taking her readers back through time, back to the times when the english throne, the power of the english king was...out of control, and those other countries surrounding England were subjected to the whim of the King. These were the times of Robert Bruce. Proud, intelligent and set on freeing Scotland from the rule of England..and its king(s). Father to son; both just as cruel and arrogant; the lives of others of no consequence..this author does such an excellent job of taking the reader right there. I am a long time lover of history, especially as it has to do with the Celtic nations as each had to deal with the greed of the english; their lands, their rights, everything to be given over on the whim of a half mad boy/king who grew up with a father who disliked his tastes; especially since this prince, soon enough to be king, was so influenced by his boyhood friend/lover. Even though forced to wed, it didnt come with happiness..but this is the story of his worse nightmare; Robert the Bruce; who through grit and determination; made Scotland free of english rule, for a time anyhow. This, is the first book in three that revolves around the life of the King of Scotland; his determination and struggle to free the people from cruel english rule. I was not at all familiar with this author when I got this first book, but since this, have purchased the other two books in the series and in less than a week, am well into the last book..and not a bit of it is fill-in, heaving bosom type writing. Noo; this is history. This is the way of things in dangerous times; when the Kings of England and France bickered and fought, but one eye had to be kept on the unruly Scots, let alone try to deal with the Welsh uprisings and the Irish too. ahhhh, these are the kind of books you can just curl up and vanish into and I am pleased to share my feedback here. If you, like me; love to curl up with a well written book on ancient history, read about the people who created their own history; grab all three in this series. (and I just spotted another series by this same author, I'll be buying next; I am HOOKED). so, grab all three books, a cup of tea, find your comfortable spot to curl up and vanish into a time long ago; that is based on facts..real people, real emotions;..people who if you're like me; you'll recognize the names..what an excellent book, a great trilogy, am now on the reading list so when new books come out, I will know. Being a fan of such as Margeret George, and Jean Plaidy, this author is right there; holds you, keeps the pages turning and 330 pages or so; just isnt enough; good thing there is book two, and three, eh??? Excellent, excellent reading; so glad I found this trilogy, just took a break long enough to come online to tend to some things, including leaving this well deserved praise for these books; and off to probably vanish into the final book on "The Bruce"; King of the Scots.

5,0 su 5 stelle The Crown in the Heather. By N.Gemini Sasson.

I first read this book when it was first published and many times since. An excellent read. Miss. Sasson researches her characters so carefully, her books are a pleasure to read time after time. After reading Nigel Tranter's Bruce Trilogy, I thought I would never find another author as true as Mr. Tranter, but I have in Miss. Sasson. Obviously, there are slight differences in the behaviour of some of the main characters, who knows what these people thought or said or felt, but the main story is the same. And I for one will re read Miss. Sasson and Mr. Tranter many more times. A great read.

4,0 su 5 stelle 4 - 4,5 Sterne: Robert Bruces Kampf um Schottlands Freiheit
Recensito in Germania il 9 giugno 2012
Acquisto verificato
Der Großvater von Robert Bruce weckt 1290 erstmals die Hoffnung in dem jungen Mann, eines Tages die Krone Schottlands zu erringen und die Unabhängigkeit von England zu erreichen. Der Weg dahin ist jedoch steinig und mehr als weit. Roberts erste Gehversuche auf dem politischen Parkett Schottlands gestalten sich alles andere als einfach und als sich Robert unsterblich in Elizabeth de Burgh verliebt, verkompliziert dies seine Lage zusätzlich. Elizabeths Vater ist ein treuer Vasall von Longshanks und Robert steht vor einer schwierigen Entscheidung.

THE CROWN IN THE HEATHER ist der erste Teil der Bruce-Trilogie und behandelt die Ereignisse in den Jahren 1290 bis 1306. Wir lernen Robert Bruce als 16-jährigen kennen, der für Politik, Machtverhältnisse und Intrigenspiel absolut gar nichts übrig hat, und erst nach und nach durch seinen Großvater an diese Themen herangeführt wird. Robert entwickelt jedoch schnell großen Ehrgeiz und seine Liebe für Schottland gibt ihm immer wieder Mut, wenn seine Lage aussichtslos scheint. Sein Ziel ist klar vorgezeichnet, als er Elizabeth kennen lernt, gerät seine Entschlossenheit jedoch erstmals ins Wanken. Soll er für den Thron wirklich alles opfern? Oder kann er nicht beides haben, seine Liebe und sein Lebensziel?
Neben Robert Bruce spielen James Douglas, der Sohn eines Grafen, und Prinz Edward größere Rollen in der Handlung. Beiden werden neben Robert Passagen gewidmet, die aus ihrer Warte erzählen. James erlebt als kleiner Junge die Zerstörung Berwicks mit und hat einen weiten Weg vor sich, bevor er sich Roberts Sache anschließen kann. Prinz Edward hat mit seinem ablehnenden Vater zu kämpfen und misstraut Robert Bruce praktisch ab der ersten Sekunde. Obwohl er noch keinen Einfluss auf die Geschehnisse nehmen kann, schwört er, Bruce in Zukunft bluten zu lassen.
THE CROWN IN THE HEATHER hat natürlich noch zahlreiche andere Nebenfiguren, wie zum Beispiel William Wallace und Roberts Familie, es wird ihnen jedoch allen eher wenig Platz in der Handlung gewidmet und sie bleiben oft sehr zweidimensional, was ich doch etwas schade finde.
Sehr gut hat mir dagegen die Handlung von THE CROWN IN THE HEATHER gefallen. N. Gemini Sasson hat sich sehr nah an den realen historischen Ereignissen gehalten, was man dem Buch auch anmerkt, dennoch wird die Spannung hochgehalten und zusammen mit den stimmungsvollen und wunderschönen Beschreibungen des mittelalterlichen Schottlands ergibt sich so ein wunderbares Lesevergnügen.
Insgesamt hat mir THE CROWN IN THE HEATHER trotz einiger leichter Schwächen bei den Nebenfiguren sehr gut gefallen und ich freue mich schon sehr auf die bereits erschienene Fortsetzung WORTH DYING FOR. Sehr empfehlenswert!
