Story
1399: Constance of York, Lady Despenser, proves herself more than a mere observer in the devious intrigues of her magnificently dysfunctional family, the House of York. Surrounded by power-hungry men, including her aggressively self-centred husband, Thomas, and ruthless siblings, Edward and Richard, Constance places herself at the heart of two treasonous plots against King Henry IV. Will it be possible for this Plantagenet family to safeguard its own political power by restoring either King Richard II to the throne, or the precarious Mortimer claimant?

Publisher's Summary
Ireland, 1160.
Aoife MacMurchada is just 14 years old when her father Diarmit, King of Leinster, is brutally deposed, and her family is forced to flee Southern Ireland into English exile. Diarmit seeks help from King Henry II, an alliance that leads him to the charismatic Richard de Clare, lord of Striguil, a man dissatisfied with his lot and open to new horizons.
Diarmit promises Richard wealth, lands, and Aoife's hand in marriage in return for his aid, but Aoife, has her own thoughts on the matter. She may be a prize, but she is not a pawn and she will play the game to her own advantage.
From the royal halls of scheming kings, to staunch Welsh border fortresses and across storm-tossed seas to the wild green kingdoms of Ireland, The Irish Princess is a sumptuous, journey of ambition and desire, love and loss, heartbreak and survival.

No time for housework while reading/listening to The Irish Princess.
This was one of those rare stories that I found it very hard to stop listening to. Hence very little housework was done until I finished it. It was also beautifully narrated . This was the first book by Elizabeth Chadwick that I have read/listened to and will not be my last.

Historical writing at its best!
From the opening pages, Chadwick has a way of engaging her readers. Her research shines through and her accurate details of time, place and setting enthrall the senses. Her characters are well developed and the pace moves the plotline along.
A really enjoyable read if you love history and romance combined.
