The Douglas Bastard | J R Tomlin

Finished my fourth book for #AwesomeApril.

This is the first book in the Archibald the Grim Series by J R Tomlin. Quite a short but very readable book covering the early part of the life of The Black Douglas‘s illegitimate son. The Black Douglas (Sir James Douglas) was a staunch ally of Robert the Bruce. It‘s set between 1338 and 1346 as the young King David and his allies attempt to get back control of Scotland from the English.

Andrew65 I look forward to continuing this series, as it is a period of British history I do not know enough about.
