Lord Dynham (1433-1501) was a key figure in the struggle for supremacy between York and Lancaster. He enjoyed a long, glittering political career and a complex personal life. Twice-married, but openly gay in his private circle, he survived the reigns and dictates of three very different kings: Edward IV, Richard III, and Henry VII. His story is of compelling interest-sex, shady politics, tragedy and intrigue-and is vividly recounted in part two of the Dynham saga, covering the years 1466-71. Three years have elapsed since Dynham and his lover Philip were reunited after Philip's capture by the French. Now in his thirties, Dynham is about to enter into an arranged marriage with Baroness Elizabeth Fitzwalter, but is determined not to give up Philip. He also has to deal with the Siege of Exeter, court anarchy, the attempted deposition of Edward IV, family squabbles, loss in battle, the failing health of his brother-in-law Nicholas Carew...and the ultimate tragedy which rocks the lives of the entire Dynham clan.
