Your story sounds fascinating.<br /><br />Helena, I'm ashamed to say I know nothing about the Fair Maid of Kent except that she was married to the Black Prince. As a child I lived near - and often visited - Hall Place at Bexley in Kent, where the Fair Maid apparently lived.

I love "righting wrongs" and providing alternative explanations to conventional wisdom about historical figures. My interpretation of Joan of Kent, the Fair Maid of Kent (and later Princess of Wales) for example, is likewise based on the fact that a 13 year old girl trapped in a "secret marriage" with a mature man was probably the victim not the other way around. But that's for another day! Hope this book sells very well. The heroine deserves it!Helena P. Schraderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06535398166485310212noreply@blogger.com
