The story of Owain Glyndwr, the last Welsh Prince of Wales.

In the year 1399, Welsh nobleman Owain Glyndwr is living out a peaceful gentleman’s life in the Dee Valley of Wales with his wife Margaret and their eleven children. But when Henry of Bolingbroke usurps the throne of England from his cousin Richard II, that tranquility is forever shattered. What starts as a feud with a neighboring English lord over a strip of land evolves into something greater—a fight for the very independence of Wales.

After a harrowing encounter on the misty slopes of Cadair Idris, the English knight Harry Hotspur offers Owain a pact he cannot resist. Peace, however, comes with a price. As tragedies mount, Owain questions whether he can find the strength within himself not only to challenge the most powerful monarch of his time, but to fulfill the prophecies and lead his people to freedom without destroying those around him.

For centuries, the bards have sung of King Arthur’s return, but is this reluctant warrior prince the answer to those prophecies?

5,0 su 5 stelle The Last Prince of the ancient United Wales
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 3 novembre 2013

If you listen to the news today and hear England's Prince William referred go as "The Prince of Wales", well, this is the title which the ancient Norman-French and their later English born off-spring tried for hundreds of years to take from Welsh people as well as finally taking over the rule of their entire country called "Wales" in Britain.
This is an excellently written hostorical novel of the last of the Welsh leaders, their families, and the men who chose to follow them. The Welsh use ingenuity and stealth to try to hold off the mounted English/Norman knights and to capture the large castles which the Norman/English built. This novel follows the life long struggle of one of the last remaining elected Welsh Princes, a man who successfully unites all of Wales for many years and even goes so far as to attack the lands held by the enemy English. He and his men become legendary figures in Welsh history, even to this day. When the final Welsh leader and his family were finally captured and/or killed, the title The Prince of Wales was taken over by the English kings for their heirs. It is now traditionally bestowed upon each new British royal prince when he becomes old enough to rule...though usually he must wait many more years until his predecessor actually dies. Thus, a future, young British king is first bestowed with the title of The Prince of Wales...for there are none alive from the ancient Welsh leading families to claim the title. This is an exceptionally well written novel. You find yourself hoping that the legendary Prince of Wales can keep his mountain people and their cusfoms protected from the invaders, but for how long...?

Uneasy lies the crown brings to life a Hero who is so little known. Ms. Sasson, once again, has brought this man and his family back to life, you can almost smell and feel the mountains and fields - it is so well written. Before this book, I am sure many people will have been like me - that you know the name Owain Glyndwr, but very little else. Well now I know a whole lot more about this fascinating man - so thanks again to Ms. Sasson. There is just one problem - having to wait for her next book!!

4,0 su 5 stelle Well fleshed out historical novel.
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 19 luglio 2013

I very much enjoyed this account of Owain Glyndwr and I really became engrossed in the twists and turns of the novel. Although there are many historical clues as to the character of Owain's nemesis, Henry V we just have to go along with the author's build up of the enigmatic Welsh hero. She does it well and does it believably.
I did feel she dealt very fairly with all the combatants in this story. No one was truly good and no one truly evil; whether Welsh or English. This means that the human side of all characters was presented, warts 'n all and, in the two principal characters in particular. Owain and Harry (Henry V) are very beguilingly portrayed and it resulted in an enthralling contest of hearts and minds. Sadly, (or perhaps not if you're English) it would seem that Owain was extremely unfortunate to be thrust into his position of defender of Welsh interests and honour at the exact time of the emergence of possibly one of England's greatest military monarchs.
Narrative is strong, action is brutal and raw. Characters are well fleshed out and satisfyingly vulnerable to mistakes in the their plots, plans and operations. The always devious political shenanigans of the time are also developed in a way that has the reader sometimes sighing "Oh no, how could that happen." It does though, and corker of a tale enfolds as a result.
All in all I consider this one of the very best novels of this genre.

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 5 gennaio 2014

It's 1399, the era of Owain Glyndwr. Acclaimed as the last true Welsh Prince of Wales, Ms Sasson delves into the life of this reluctant warrior prince, for he was in reality more inclined to diplomacy than resort to battle in the settling of disputes. The overall plot of this novel is pretty much as history and myth and legend would have us believe about Glyndwr and his loyalty to Richard II, but when history and myth converge important factors of Glyndwr are often lost in the telling. He didn't hate the English, he became learned in law at the Inns of Court, and he married an Englishwoman. What he chose to uphold was right from wrong, and thus always fought for right against wrong, and in many respects Henry Bolingbroke (self-imposed king) was a wrong `n and a betrayer of good and honest men.

While Ms Sasson treads the historical line and smudges it with myth and legend, a bit of poet licence sneaks in to spice up Glyndwr's private (sexual) life: but for why? Beautifully written and evoking sense of time and place, the telling of a fictional mistress and her hold upon Glyndwr (to this reader) seemed wholly unnecessary, and rather stole the shine from Glyndwr's fight for right against wrongs. Glyndwr was evidently a charismatic individual and man of conscience, or he wouldn't have given a damn as to who wore the crown of England. Unfortunately, where Richard II was friend, Henry Bolingbroke was foe: not only to Glyndwr but to Wales, as well. Nonetheless, Ms Sasson has written a fair account of Glyndwr's known activities of merit, provided a rough outline of his birthright and presented a graphically descriptive sense of his marital abode.
