📘 Lords of the White Castle by Elizabeth Chadwick

In 1184 Westminster, the court of King Henry is the backdrop for a tense and ultimately deadly rivalry between Fulke FitzWarin—a noble from the Welsh Marches—and Prince John. A chess game accusation of cheating ignites a bitter conflict that shapes both men’s lives. The FitzWarins, proud and loyal, aspire to restore their family’s lost estate and title, the Lords of the White Castle. Meanwhile, Fulke’s heart is captured by Maude le Vavasour, but the arranged marriage of medieval England, driven by alliances rather than affection, draws Maude toward another suitor. Loyal to his family yet increasingly opposed to the king’s wrath, Fulke’s rebellion and life on the run mirror the political turbulence of the era.
