Book Synopsis Prince and Heretic by : Marjorie Bowen
Book excerpt: "Prince and Heretic" is a historical novel about the Dutch House of Orange and begins with its prince, William. William the Silent, also known as William the Taciturn, or, more commonly, William of Orange, was the main leader of the Dutch Revolt against the Spanish Habsburgs that set off the Eighty Years' War and resulted in the formal independence of the United Provinces in 1581. The novel is set in the time of the Holy Inquisition when tensions between the Catholic and Protestant churches dominated. It is full of court intrigues, mysteries, political tensions, and unexpected turns.
