A short summary of The Fifth Knight:
The conspiracy of Thomas Becket's murder and the aftermath with the Abbess.
My favorite E.M. Powell quote from the book:
"You can cut and cut at a serpent's tail. Unless you sever the head, it can still devour you."
Questions to ponder while reading The Fifth Knight:
How much do you know of Henry II?
Is assassination ever appropriate?
Thoughts about The Fifth Knight:
A very fun, historical read.
Fast-paced and full of action.
Not *entirely* accurate.
