Troubles at home. A lot was happening in England during the late 1180's, most especially between Henry II and his sons. This unrest at the top caused civil unrest.

I finished the book and don't know what to make of it. I am glad it ended the way it did, but it sure took a meandering path to get there.

I see that I gave it 5 stars, but I don't remember liking it too much. I suppose because it's Walter Scott and he must have 5 stars, except for St. Ronan's Well.

I agree that it being Scott tends to make me rate it higher than I would have if it had been written today. But I couldn't give this one 5 stars. Every author must have a bad day.
