In 1135, during the civil conflict between the usurper King Stephen and Empress Matilda (the daughter of Henry I), two cousins, Raymond and William (unavoidably, one of the many Williams in the story), are born and raised at Carew, in southwest Wales. Their growth through infancy to maturity becomes an important part of the theme of They Served the Devil’s Brood. It is a critical time in England and Wales as the barons are torn between loyalty to either faction, as well as having to deal with an increase in Welsh opposition to their presence. Calls are also being made for their knights and vassals to join the crusade against the infidels, who have taken control of the Holy Land. Henry Plantagenet, the son of Matilda, enters the fray as a youth but has to be content to wait till Stephen, bereft of a viable heir, agrees to name Henry as his successor. The Welsh Church is also facing increased demands from the centralized hierarchy of Rome. As Henry II takes over the reins of government, his influence on all involved becomes apparent. He is kept busy—and with him, all his servants—travelling his domains in France and England. An exiled minor Irish king appeals to Henry to help him recover his rightful place and territory. He is given permission to gather such help as he can from the Norman-Welsh barons. Richard de Clare (Strongbow)—rather down on his luck at the time—responds. It takes some time, but with Raymond’s help, plus that of Raymond’s relations, the FitzGeralds, they invade the southeast corner of Ireland. Raymond proves to be a capable warrior and brilliant commander but has to struggle with his own troubles as he seeks the hand of the higher-born sister of Richard, Basilia de Clare.

In 1135, during the civil conflict between the usurper, King Stephen and "Empress" Matilda (the daughter of Henry I), two cousins, Raymond and William (unavoidably, one of the many "Williams" in the story), are born and raised at Carew, in south-west Wales. Their growth through infancy to maturity becomes an important part of the theme of "They Served the Devil's Brood." It is a critical time in England and Wales, as the barons are torn between loyalty to either faction, as well as having to deal with an increase in Welsh opposition to their presence. Calls are also being made for their knights and vassals to join the Crusade against the "infidels", who have taken control of the Holy Land.

The Welsh Church is also facing increased demands from the centralised hierarchy of Rome. As Henry II takes over the reins of government, his influence on all involvedbecomes apparent. He is kept busy - and with him all his servants - travelling his domains in France and England. An exiled minor Irish king appeals to Henry to help him recover his rightful place and territory.

Henry II’s three eldest sons conspire against him and align themselves with his greatest enemy, King Louis of France, but it’s Eleanor of Aquitaine’s involvement in the plot to overthrow her husband that proves to be the harshest betrayal.

Enough, probably, has been done in our other books in the way of answering the ignorant and profane attacks which the Manichaeans make on the law, which is called the Old Testament, in a spirit of vainglorious boasting, and with the approval of the uninstructed. Here, too, I may shortly touch upon the subject. For every one with average intelligence can easily see that the explanation of the Scriptures should be sought for from those who are the professed teachers of the Scriptures; and that it may happen, and indeed always happens, that many things seem absurd to the ignorant, which, when they are explained by the learned, appear all the more excellent, and are received in the explanation with the greater pleasure on account of the obstructions which made it difficult to reach the meaning.

THE LONG-AWAITED AND HIGHLY ANTICIPATED FINAL VOLUME IN PENMAN'S TRILOGY OF HENRY II ABD EKEABR IF AQUITAINE - A TUMULTUOUS STORY OF A KING, HIS QUEEN AND THEIR WAR-THORN FAMILY Devil's Blood has at its heart the implosion of a family, a story of devastating betrayal as King Henry II's three eldest sons and his wife Eleanor enter into a rebellion against him, aligning themselves with his most bitter enemy, King Louis of France. It is also the story of a great king whose brilliance forged an empire but whose personal blind spots led him to he most serious misjudgement of his life. Sharon Penman has created a novel of immense power and range, bringing Henry and Eleanor's world to life in a brilliant and uniquely vivid way. As two strong-willed, passionate people clash, a family divides, and a marriage ends in all but name, an unforgettable trilogy reached its conclusion. Devil's Brood is a novel without villains - only flawed human beings caught up in a cycle of mistrust and misunderstanding that has more devastating and far-reaching consequence than they could ever have imagined.
