David Pownall.

By a highly acclaimed local author, this is a story of infatuation and a relationship pursued to destruction. Prince Edward was the only surviving son of Edward I, one of England’s greatest warrior kings, whose subjugation of the Welsh, campaigns against the Scots and massive programme of castle building near bankrupted the realm. As heir to the throne, not only was Prince Edward unsuited to carry through his father’s military ambitions, but his defiant resistance to every pressure to abandon his relationship with the Gascon warrior Piers Gaveston was to have disastrous consequences.
