Set at a time of great violence, danger, loyalty and deceit, FLAMBARD'S CONFESSION is a novel at the heart of which is William II, son of William the Conqueror, and his chaplain, Ranulph Flambard. Ranulph was born the son of a poor priest and a woman rumoured to be a witch, and yet rose to become a priest - and the most infamous prince of tax collectors. This fascinating novel weaves the thin threads of history into a vibrant tapestry of adventure centred upon the dramatic lives of two notorious men at the centre of power.
