Murder, mayhem, and religion frustrate the royal courtship that was meant to make peace between England and Spain, quell a war threatening to spill out of Germany, and help the next King of England secure the loyalty of both his court and subjects.
Sophia Institute Press proudly announces, The Spanish Match: A Novel of Catholic Spain. The search for truth and love in the vicious world of royal courts drives the action in Brennan Pursell's masterful retelling of one of history's most intriguing moments.
In context with our own political landscape today, an election year with international wars being fought in the name of religion, scandals, and grave economic concerns, we see little has actually changed. Who can you trust? Who tells the truth? Must politics always remain such a nasty game?
The Spanish Match is based on real historical events with fictional elements bringing to vivid life the terrible predicament the characters face. With many lines, written and said, coming directly from historical documents, we are with the young Prince Charles of England and the even younger PrincessMaría of Spain as their love grows in proportion to the reality that their marriage may well destroy England's monarchy and upset Europe's fragile balance of power.
Meticulously researched by Harvard Ph.D. and professor of history Brennan Pursell, The Spanish Match is historical fiction at its finest.
