Přemyslovci 3 - Trůn patří rytířům – Vaňková Ludmila (2018)

The new series of royal sagas by Ludmila Vaňková, THE Přemyslids, continues with the third book, THE THRONE BELONGS TO THE KNIGHTS (1231-1271), and connects the novels The Forgotten King and The Iron King, the Golden King. The third part of the historical saga The Přemyslids captures a great half-century of the Czech kingdom, which knew no defeats and flourished, even though it was often in danger and neighboring countries faced disaster after disaster. Wenceslas I inherited the hereditary kingdom from his father as a great power, and his son Přemysl II created the Přemyslid Empire stretching from sea to sea and could aspire to the imperial crown. Both were true knights of their time, honoring justice, protecting their subjects, and increasing the wealth of their land. Many new buildings were created, cities expanded, and others were founded, trade and crafts flourished, and the army was always able to defend the country. Ludmila Vaňková's storytelling is extraordinarily captivating and exceptionally enlightening. She has woven together fragmented reports from chroniclers across Europe, allowing readers to learn much more about the historical figures she created through her imagination and storytelling art than mere snippets, and to experience the adventures of the knightly heroes almost live.
