I write Historical Fiction about medieval Britain. In my first four books, come witness the tumultuous events surrounding the Viking Invasion with Canute the Great and his heirs. Visit late Anglo-Saxon England with Earl Godwine, Harold Godwineson, and King Edward the Confessor; see Macbeth's and Malcolm III's Scotland, and watch events unfold leading to the Battle of Hastings and the Norman Conquest.

THE PLANTAGENET LEGACY
In my new series, The Plantagenet Legacy, I will explore the reigns of the last true Plantagenet King, Richard II and his successors, Henry IV, Henry V and Henry VI. The usurpation of Richard II paves the way for the terrible conflict of the Wars of the Roses and dynastic struggles that shatter the fifteenth century.

From the day he was crowned, Henry V was determined to
prove the legitimacy of his house. His father's
usurpation weighed heavily on his mind. Only a grand
gesture would capture the respect of his own countrymen
and the rest of Europe. He would follow in his
great-grandfather Edward III's footsteps, and recover
lost territory in France. Better yet, why not go for the
crown? Poor, deranged Charles VI couldn't manage his own
barons. The civil war between the Burgundians and
Armagnacs was more of a threat to his country than the
English, even after Henry laid siege to Harfleur. But
once Harfleur had fallen, the French came to their
senses and determined to block his path to Calais and
destroy him. By the time the English reached Agincourt,
they were starving, exhausted, and easy pickings. Or so
the French thought. Little did they reckon on Henry's
leadership and the stout-hearted English archers who
proved, once again, that numbers didn't matter when God
was on their side. CLICK FOR AMAZON |
About me
Mercedes Rochelle
Born in St. Louis MO with a degree in English Literature from University of Missouri, I learned about living history as a re-enactor and have been enamored with historical fiction ever since. A move to New York to do research and two careers ensued, but having come full circle from frustrated writer to entrepreneur back to writer again, I am redefining myself as I enter my middle ages. When I am not selling Real Estate, I write Historical Fiction mainly about 11th Century Britain. I live in Sergeantsville, NJ with my husband in a log home we had built ourselves.
