Letter from Poitou (2004)
This is the tale of Eve de Clavering, a child
bride sold into a loveless union with the Audley heir for the sake of her
father’s dynastic ambitions. Twice widowed by the age of twenty-one, she
had no children in wedlock but five by her lover from a twenty-year
relationship without the blessing of law or priest. Surrounded by
controversy and intrigue, she became a fitting companion for Queen
Isabella, the ‘she-wolf’ of France. Her eldest boy, James Audley, although
illegitimate, was a favourite of Edward III and the Black Prince, a
founding member of the Garter Knights, and hero of the battle of Poitiers
in the Hundred Years War. Eve lived seventy-six years, dying in September
1369—the same month and year as her celebrated son. Follow the turbulent
sweep of 14th century history through Eve’s eyes. Wars, politics, murder,
and forbidden love all played a part in her remarkable story.
