Vagabond, by Bernard Cornwell

In Vagabond by Bernard Cornwell,  Thomas has been sent back to England to pursue his father's mysterious legacy which hints that the Holy Grail might exist and gets tangled with the Scottish invasion of 1347.  The Scots lose the battle and David II is captured .  He continues back to Hookton with Robbie, a catured Scottish noble.  Thomas and Robbie travel to Hookton and find that a Dominican has also been to Hookton. Thomas meets with his old friend  Sir Giles Marriott who gives him a book that his father wrote about the Grail .  Meanwhile a large army marches on La Roche-Derrien and lays siege to it hoping to lure the nearby English army out and defeat the only remaining army that is not in one of the Garrisons. Read on to find out what happens to Thomas as he searches for the most Holy relic in Christendom.

   Needless to say Vagabond was another exciting book by Bernard Cornwell deserving a 10/10 rating.  After reading these books I cannot read any other ones, for every other book seems shallow compared to these books.  Very interesting and capitvating Bernarnd Cornwell again does his research and makes a historically accurate book.
