I am pleased to welcome Mercedes Rochelle to my blog today to share a spotlight for her novel, “The Agincourt King,” the audiobook edition. I would like to thank The Coffee Pot Book Club and Mercedes Rochelle for allowing me to participate in this blog tour.
Blurb:
From the day he was crowned, Henry V was determined to prove the legitimacy of his house.
His father’s usurpation weighed heavily on his mind. Only a grand gesture would capture the respect of his own countrymen and the rest of Europe. He would follow in his great-grandfather Edward III’s footsteps and recover lost territory in France. Better yet, why not go for the crown?
Poor, deranged Charles VI couldn’t manage his own barons. The civil war between the Burgundians and Armagnacs was more of a threat to his country than the English, even after Henry laid siege to Harfleur.
But once Harfleur had fallen, the French came to their senses and determined to block his path to Calais and destroy him. By the time the English reached Agincourt, they were starving, exhausted, and easy pickings. Or so the French thought.
Little did they reckon on Henry’s leadership and the stout-hearted English archers who proved, once again, that numbers didn’t matter when God was on their side.

Mercedes Rochelle is an ardent lover of medieval history and has channeled this interest into fiction writing.

The next series is called The Plantagenet Legacy about the struggles and abdication of Richard II, leading to the troubled reigns of the Lancastrian Kings.
