Good

It was a good read but I did find that I skimmed through some parts. Mainly the sections on the churches as they were much to descriptive for me. Good characters and dialogue and I enjoyed learning about the relationship between William and Joanna.

Once a queen always a queen

This was my favorite of all the books by this author. I liked the way it is told by several characters points of view. Characters are removed as they leave the story and characters are added in as they are introduced. Enjoyed this format a lot.

This is the story of Berengaria of Navarre who was the wife and Queen of Richard the Lionheart, King of England. While I knew quite a lot about Richard and his life I did not know much if anything about his wife and this was a good book to get that info. I really enjoyed learning about Berengaria and her trials and troubles being married to Richard. Even though she was Queen of England she never set foot there.
