I have just finished The Summer Qu...Hi Elizabeth! <br /><br />I have just finished The Summer Queen. The Mount Cadmos scene has been absolutely my favourite,tension after the massacre being almost tangible. <br /><br />There is one thing that has caught my attention, namely the ship in which Henry and Eleanor crossed to England in December 1154. I have always thought that "esnecca" was the ship's name, not a certain type of ships used in the 12th century. I can't recall now, but it must have been Marion Meade who wrote the name starting with the capital "E", which made the ship sound as if it had been Henry and Eleanor's private vessel called "Esnecca". I would be grateful for any additional information.<br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />KasiaKatarzyna Ogrodnik-Fujcikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10415905019122111675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24348391.post-75231819073873869142013-06-20T09:44:58.515+00:002013-06-20T09:44:58.515+00:00Hi Kasia,

It was then when I "met" the Young King for the first time ;-)<br /><br />I would love to read one of the books about Abbot Suger. Are they good ones?Katarzyna Ogrodnik-Fujcikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10415905019122111675noreply@blogger.com
