### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A great adventure story with excellent historical context
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2016*

I was looking for historical fiction about the Norman Conquest and discovered James Aitcheson's series featuring the fictional knight Tancred a Dinant. These book are exactly what I was looking for - lots of adventure, careful recreation of the historical period and minimal explicit sexual content. Tancred is an interesting hero - arrogant, guilt ridden, impetuous and an intelligent leader. Aitcheson is an excellent writer whose prose flows easily making for very enjoyable reading. Most of my ancestry is French, English, Irish and Scottish and dates back to the Conquest. I'm leaving this week with my family for a visit to the British Isles to discover our "roots" and reading these books is an enjoyable and useful means of learning the early history of the countries.

    A Pretty Accounting of the Travails of Caesar's Murderers
  

*by R***K on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2013*

It was obvious that the author researched the facts of this case exhaustively.  It conformed very well to the story that I was familier with.  It was one of those books that is hard to put down, once started.  I read it in two days.  Good reading, and recommended to anyone with a with a sense of history.

    A Top-Notch Novel of Post-Conquest England
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2014*

James Aitcheson’s SWORN SWORD is an outstanding debut novel that treats an underexamined area in historical fiction: the Saxon rebellions following William the Conqueror’s victory over Harold Godwinson in 1066. Tancred a Dinant is a “sworn sword” of Robert de Commines, who has been charged by King William with subduing northern England. Loyalty is everything in Tancred’s world, and when his lord is killed the first thought in his mind is revenge. Before he can accomplish this, however, he becomes entangled in a world that is far more complicated and treacherous than he is accustomed to. Tancred, as the novel’s protagonist, is clearly a man of his time and yet someone a modern reader can root for – a well-done balancing act by Aitcheson. Secondary characters are well-drawn too (with the possible exception of a high-born demoiselle who seems uncommonly forward with a mere knight). In the next two books in the series, we may hope for a consummation of Tancred’s desire to revenge himself on Eadgar, the Saxon leader responsible for Lord Robert’s death.
