Read this book in 2009, and its the 3rd volume of the delightful "Roger Shallot" series.

This series brings us the recollections of Roger Shallot's adventures for his boss , Cardinal Wolsey, during the reign of King Henry VIII.

The tale is set in the year AD 1522, and Roger Shallot and Benjamin Daunbey are witness of the execution of Stafford, Duke of Buckingham, after having been found guilty of treason.

The true reason for the Duke of Buckingham's downfall was that he was searching for two precious relics, the Holy Grail and Excalibur at Templecombe manor and Glastonbury Abbey in Somerset.

Benjamin and Roger Shallot are sent to Templecombe to find these relics for the KIng, and they are accompanied by the King's dreaded secret service, the agentes in Rebus.

Their opponents are Templars, a secret organisation plotting against the Tudors, of which Buckingham may have been part, and one of them is still a member and also close to the crown.

What will follow is an intriguing and exciting Tudor mystery, in which Benjamin and Roger Shallot will have to use their wits, cunning and speedy legs, to unravel this mystery, and after several dangerous and deadly encounters in various circumstances they will be able to reveal the culprit of all this mayhem and murder.

Highly recommended, for this is a wonderful addition of this great series, and that's why I to call this episode: "A Glorious Grail Mystery"!12 s ????????? ???????91 2

" Recordar siempre las teorizas militares del viejo Shallot.
En primer lugar, siempre que os sea posible, ¡corred! En segundo lugar, si no podéis echar a correr, rendíos. Y en tercer lugar, los voluntarios nunca llegan al día de paga. ¡Yo lo se bien! He luchado en demasiadas batallas y en una de ellas perdí a mi muchacho, a mi único hijo de mi tercera esposa. Le llame Benjamín porque no se parecía a mi, podrido y retorcido, sino que era alto y noble, con su corazón lleno de coraje; oh, buen Jesús, fue a Irlanda con la armada de Essex y murió en los pantanos de Antrim. ¡Oh, Dios! ¡Aun le echo de menos! Es cierto lo que decían los griegos: los amados por los dioses mueren jóvenes. Por eso yo viviré para siempre, ¡maldita sea! " Francesca Strada185 55
