Böcker av Martin Archer

This is another of the great action-packed tales taken from the records of Cornwall's Company of Archers. The mouse-eaten parchments on which this particular tale is based were found in a chest at the Bodleian Library during the 1887 renovation of its basement. Among the parchment's many revelations is that today's royal family may be descendants of very different ancestors than the men and woman whose portraits are carefully dusted each week in the royal residences. More specifically, it appears that it was an archer, not a son of the Duke of Lancaster, who delved into one of the spanning women who produced today's royal family. It also explains why red hair periodically surfaces in the royal family. Historical note for readers in the colonies. The arrogant noble twit Henry Bolingbroke subsequently became King Henry IV. His oldest son, Henry, became Henry V.
