{"product_id":"1575827","title":"The Greatest Traitor: The Life Of Sir Roger Mortimer, 1St Earl Of March by Ian Mortimer","description":"The first biography of the evil genius and rebel baron who deposed and murdered Edward II One night in August 1323 a captive rebel baron, Sir Roger Mortimer, drugged his guards and escaped from the Tower of London. With the king's men-at-arms in pursuit he fled to the south coast, and sailed to France. There he was joined by Isabella, the Queen of England, who threw herself into his arms. A year later, as lovers, they returned with an invading King Edward II's forces crumbled before them, and Mortimer took power. He removed Edward II in the first deposition of a monarch in British history. Then the ex-king was apparently murdered, some said with a red-hot poker, in Berkeley Castle. Brutal, intelligent, passionate, profligate, imaginative and Sir Roger Mortimer was an extraordinary character. This 2004 Pimlico Paperback is in \u003cb\u003e fair condition\u003c\/b\u003e.
