Synopsis
Brilliant and entertaining, a dramatic novel vividly recreates the savagery, disease, and battles of medieval England in 1460, during the War of the Roses, as witnessed through the eyes of three highly civilized visitors from the empire of Vijayanagara in South India who have arrived in England to find the Prince of Vijayanagara's long-lost brother.

Review
...a hugely enjoyable amble into a most gruesome period of history (THE TIMES)
From the Publisher
PRAISE FOR THIS BOOK
‘There are moments in this novel when one could be watching an episode of Blackadder. Frivolity abounds ... But beneath the gags, a serious historical novel is lurking. Julian Rathbone has had the excellent idea of viewing the Wars of the Roses from the perspective of some visitors from India. Their reactions to what they see, ranging from disgust to bemusement, shed unexpected light on 15th Century England’, Sally Cousins SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
‘This is a tale of high imperial adventure ...A superb adventure story.’ INDEPENDENT
‘KINGS OF ALBION, although packed with jokes, IS a serious book. Rathbone has so deeply immersed himself in his period, the 15th century, that the reader gets a very powerful sense of that period ... The wars of the Roses never seemed so strange – or so real ... The result is a historical novel of charm and intelligence’ David Robson, SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
‘If you’re going to rewrite history, then this is a great way to do it ... A boisterous adventure, brilliantly told in this rather different novel’ MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS
