Description

The enchanting Alix of Wanthwaite returns in a suspenseful and richly textured adventure in which nothing less than the future of England is at stake. Alix is home at her beloved estate on the Scottish border when King Richard’s soldiers march into her castle and demand to take her to the Continent with them. King Richard has been captured while on Crusade, and Alix is among the nobles whose lives will be collateral for the king’s ransom. But when she’s delivered to Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard’s mother, she is dumbfounded to learn that the queen has other plans for her. King Richard needs an heir, Eleanor tells Alix. Repulsed by his queen, a homely religious fanatic, he has told his mother that the only woman he wants is the one he met on Crusade, when she was disguised as a boy. Richard wants Alix to be his mistress and the mother of the next Plantagenet king. Now a beguiling and irrepressible young woman, Alix faces more tribulations—and romance—on this trip to Europe, where affairs of the state and affairs of the heart are intricately intertwined.

    • A Great book, but read the trilogy!
Format: Kindle
This is a great book and is part of a trilogy about medieval England. The first is Shield of Three Lions, this is the second and the third is The Prince of Poison. All follow the story of the eleven-year-old Alix, the daughter of the baron of Wanthwaite. The language is wonderfully authentic and the scenes so vividly described. You can read them independently but starting with Shield is the best way to enjoy a great read. Enjoy! ... show more

    • And so the story continues....
Format: Paperback
Banners of Gold is the sequel to Pamela Kaufman's Shield of Three Lions. The story of young Alix of Wanthwaite and King Richard the Lion-Hearted continues. King Richard needs an heir, and Alix, who was disguised as a boy when Richard met and fell in love with her, is the only woman he wants. Alix, however, has other plans. I enjoyed the book, but Kaufman has a very plain writing style that takes some getting used to. However, her knowledge of the period is impressive, and her books are filled with interesting details. ... show more

    • Nice read.
Format: Kindle
Either you like Kaufman's historical novels or you hate them. It's good fiction, follows a "what if" premise and is well researched and well written.

    • Best of the Series
Format: Paperback
This book is the best of the Trilology that Kaufman wrote. I was glad to finally find the other books in the series, I had read the first one a long time ago.

    • Surprisingly fascinating, illuminating and captivating
Format: Paperback
Even being a fast reader, I whipped thru this book in no time for one reason -- I could not put it down. Having just enjoyed the preceding book, Shield of Three Lions, I was still surprised by how good this sequel was. As with all novels that walk the corridors of palatial power, you have to suspend some inner questioning and just "believe", but once again knowing so little of King Richard and his mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine, I found it remarkably easy to accept it all on face value. Not only was this continuing tale of Alix of Wanthwaite captivating in its own right, but also a strong theme on the prevailing attitudes towards and interactions with medieval Jews was both fascinating and illuminating. For fans of historical fiction, this is highly recommended! ... show more

    • More insight in Richard Couer de Lion's character
Format: Paperback
Alix is at it again. Sequel to "Shield of three Lions," I couldn't wait to read this one. Its a bit different than the last. Less of an adventure and more of a romance. Less talking and more FEELINGS. Starts off with a one-eyed jew who comes to collect Alix from her precious Wanthwaithe. Enoch has been injured and is away in Scotland. She tries to fight the jew, Bonel but of course has to go with him and once again meet up with King Richard. Man, this chick gets all the guys is all I'm gonna say! Everyone is madly in love with her---could it because she, as the main character, is utterly stunning with perfect white teeth? And her silvery halo of hair----on and on. This book was harder to pick up compared to the first. Its so into Richard and Alix. Its like, "I wonder what Richard is going to do today? When is he gonna get hit with that arrow?" etc. We interact with Queen Eleanor, too. Travel all of France's territories and are not in England much. Its a "middle book." Think of it as the "Empire Strikes BAck" or the "Two Towers." Compared to hopeful trilogies. I was hoping that the rerelease means that the author was going to put out a third book; but the first printing of this story was in 1986. It seems unlikely. So BE WARNED of two things when reading this book: THERE IS NO SEQUEL evident THE ENDING IS A CLIFF HANGER!!!!! But its good. And if you want to know the further adventures of Alix, sans Enoch, my recommendation is get it! ... show more

    • I, too, loved this book.
Format: Hardcover
I read the first book, Shield of Three Lions, and didn't know there was a sequel until I went through my bookshelves and found my sister hand lent it to me, god knows how long ago. I loved the first one because of how ingenious the girl was in passing herself as a boy. Many times the scene of her putting the reeds together in order to pee like a boy would pop into my head and I would get a good laugh to myself over it. I was thrilled to see an unread book on my shelf and this book above all. What I got out of it mostly is the way women and Jews have been historically treated and it made me angry and feeling impotent knowing that it is still going on in the year 2000, which, I may add is mentioned several times in the book as being the year of the apocolypse. Every book I have read about Richard the Lionheart is that he would not love a woman. I would like very much if Ms. Kaufman would write yet another in this series. This is why I logged on, to see if she had done so. Perhaps Ms. Kaufman can be reached by Web page to see if she is working on it. Our heroine has a life awaiting her upon leaving the European continent. Ms. Kaufman graphically shows us the living conditions of this time in history, but she doesn't dwell on it. I have seen several motion pictures which do show this timeframe, i.e., Father Cadfael, and we are talking major filth, both living conditions and body conditions. I enjoyed it and I will sell it to whomever would like to read it but can't find it. I have searched my house for Shield of Three Lions but it was so long ago that I no longer have it. That one was great too. ... show more
