Description
xHow well do you know the story of the real King Richard III?
Read Books 1 and 2 of the best-selling 'Order of the White Boar' sequence together for the first time.
Twelve-year-old Matthew Wansford has always longed to be a knight. His chance comes in the golden summer of 1482 when he arrives at Middleham Castle, home of King Edward IV's brother, Richard, Duke of Gloucester - valiant warrior, loyal brother, loving father, good master.
With new-found friends Alys, Roger and Edward, the Duke's only son, he forges a secret knightly fellowship, the Order of the White Boar. They swear an oath of lifelong loyalty - to each other and to their good lord, Duke Richard.
But these are not times to play at war. Soon Matt and his friends will be plunged into the deadly games of the Wars of the Roses. Will their loyalty be tested as the storm looms on the horizon?
For readers of all ages from 10 to adult, 'The Order of the White Boar' and 'The King's Man' tell the exciting adventures of Matt and his friends in the months leading up to the momentous 'Year of the Three Kings' of 1483, and then through to the fateful summer of 1485 - and beyond...
Books 3 and 4 of the sequence, 'King in Waiting' and 'Sons of York', are now also available - separately and also in a single volume: 'King in Waiting, Books 3 and 4 of The Order of the White Boar'.
