TEN WEEKS THAT CHANGED ENGLAND FOREVER: Prequel - Why Hildegard of Meaux became a nun (Hildegard of Meaux medieval mystery series)

This is a prequel to Hildegard's story. I intend it as a gift to her many fans who ask, why on earth did she become a nun? She is still only twenty-two, a widow with two small children, when she goes to London to claim her inheritance. Meet her in the turbulent year 1376 when John of Gaunt and the barons are trying to silence the Commons under threat of death. The realm is on the brink of civil war and soon the streets are running with blood in the so-called Peasants' Revolt. HIldegard witnesses the brutal beginnings of the long and savage battle for freedom when a king will die for the Crown and this is what she does.
