Captive Crown

With the heir to the throne murdered. King Robert the Third, a sick weakling, and his remaining son a child, Scotland and the Stewarts were in a bad way three generations removed from the great Bruce. Nevertheless, two young men stood out: Alex Stewart and his cousin. Brave John of Coull. Their fortunes are all intertwined with those of Sir Jamie Douglas, the bastard son of the powerful Lord of Dalkeith. Jamie is still the landless outlaw that he had been made following his vow to avenge the suspicious death of his master. Unrelenting and with a conscience that could make life hard in such unscrupulous times, jamie tells us the story of the Stewarts.
