The Keys of Hell and Death Charles Cordell

 

I really enjoyed this second book in the Divided Kingdom series. Set during the Lansdown Roundway and Bristol episodes it tells the tale of characters caught up in the events such as Morgan Pascoe a pikeman in Grenvilles which I liked.

Sir Ralph Hopton

 Got these through the library. He was local to me from Witham Friary near Frome. 

God's Vindictive Wrath Charles Cordell

 

Been enjoying this novel. Starts at Edgehill and progresses after that. Follows about 10 characters from different sides and it seees the battle and aftermath from their perspective. Very gritty and very well researched. I was impressed. Looking forward to the next one in the series.
