Оригинальная анотация:
John, Duke of Bedford grew to manhood fighting for his father, King Henry IV, on the wild and lawless Northern Marches. A prince of Royal blood, loyal and strong, he was the greatest ally that his brother - the future Henry V - was to have. This is a novel of bitter rivalries and power struggles.
’My Lord John’ is based on the life of John of Lancaster, Duke of Bedford. The turbulent dynastic struggles of fourteenth and early fifteenth century England form the theme of Georgette Heyer's last book. The author in her final novel, tells the dramatic story of John, third son of England's King Henry IV.
"John, Duke of Bedford -- very human, immensely powerful, intensely virile -- he is an unforgettable figure in England's most turbulent and bawdy era. Master of court intrigue, perilously close to the awesome responsibilities of the Crown, he remained a full-blooded young Englishman -- an unrestrained lover, an unbridled seeker of adventure and pleasure."
Another one of Georgette Heyer's romantic historical novels first published in 1975. She was renowned for her light hearted romantic novels based around regency times wer ladies were prim and proper and men were gallant. Her stories are timeless……
