A powerful Earl with estates nearby coveted the castle and its surrounding land. Under the guise of protecting King John from treachery, he declared his intention of 'smashing the castle to the ground, hanging the garrison amidst its ruins and wiping the pestilent Swaynes off the face of the earth'. Lord Swayne had some advantages however, one of which was that he held the Earl's son, Gregory, captive. This is a fascinating account of a medieval siege. It is also the story of the growing friendship between two boys, Lord Swayne's son Roger, and his prisoner, Gregory. Robert Cedric Sherriff (1896-1975), was an English writer best known for his play 'Journey's End', which was based on his experiences as an army officer in the First World War, now a major motion picture starring Paul Bettany, Sam Claflin and Asa Butterfield. He wrote several plays, many novels, and multiple screenplays, and was nominated for an Academy Award and two BAFTA awards. Seller Inventory # 010146
