1190 AD. Frederick Banastre has taken the cross, to fight alongside Europe’s finest warrior, Richard the Lionheart, in the Holy Land. But all is not well in the kingdom they have left. To manage England in his absence, Richard appointed three regents: a chancellor and two others who shared the duties of Justiciar. Although Earl John would act as surrogate king, the real power would not be in his hands, or so Richard thought. Bannastre saw evidence of John’s treachery before he left England’s shores when John had attempted to seize Richard’s crusading sword for himself. Only John’s royal blood had stopped Banastre running the cold, tempered steel through his flesh and muscle. Who will protect England from John’s grasping hands once Richard and his loyal supporters have left? ‘Treason’ is the second in a new series of historical thrillers chronicling the world of Richard the Lionheart and King John. The first in this series was ‘Crusader’. "Full of action, intrigue and historical insight." Richard Foreman. Paul Bannister is a journalist and author.

Prodigious research, full of interesting facts of Richard I, King John, and entire Third Crusade / Magna Carta era By Coolfire Our author, Paul Bannister, so timed the publishing of Treason to be during the month of the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta (June 1215 - June 2015), which event is covered in this book. This review is being submitted on the very day of the 800th anniversary, 15 June 2015.Once more, Paul Bannister has delivered a work dripping in both historical events and detailed period descriptions. The research has to have been prodigious for this level of consistent detail. The book just drips of research.Basically, the period covered spans from Richard the Lionheart’s (Richard I, Couer de Lion) third Crusade through the reign of his ill-famed youngest brother John who became King John.As with other Bannister books, this one is no romantic novel, but pure, bloody history as seen through the eyes and experiences of a fictional knight and close friend of Richard, Frederick de Banistre, son of Baron Thurstan de Banastre.Thoroughly based on research, one learns that Richard, although a magnificant warrior, was by no means a Saint, not all nice guy, but could be cruel and selfish, indifferent to the suffering of others, not associated with the battle field. Although the record is still debated by scholars, the most evidence falls upon Richard’s using both men and women sexually.The reader might enjoy using google throughout this epic journey through this portion of history, for Bannister weaves in many of the real players (famous and little known today) and locations (castles, ports, towns, etc.) involved.Details range from such as Bald’s Leechbook and period medical remedies, to why large movements across land would best wait until early summer due to the effect of unripe barley or oats on the horses, very detailed period description of an entire order of march of men, equipment, supplies, the techniques of undermining a fortress wall and some defensive techniques against such, details of armor, siege weapons and techniques, etc., detailed account of Richard’s part in and capture of Acre including the massacre of thousands of prisoners, including women and children, the back and forth campaigns to control not only portions of France but between various Barons and the very unpopular King John resulting in the Magna Carta.Also included are circumstances surrounded the assassination of the valiant and much admired Conrad of Montferrat, evidence pointing to Richard being responsible, and some details of the perfidy of the Christian crusade against and massacre of the Christian Cathars of the Languedoc region of France. Such things of history don’t find much place in typical school curriculums. We live in the dichotomy of one world as defined by school texts and main stream media and on the other hand a real world. And never the two shall meet. I wonder if the undefeated champion William FitzMorris of the story is based on the real undefeated William Marshal of that period, who was quite a guy. As usual, Paul Bannister includes an excellent section of Historical Notes at the end.Anyway, grab your reading glasses if relevant, have your google within reach and open the pages for a romp through the period of the third crusade and the events which led to the Magna Carta, celebrated on this day of its 800th anniversary.
