In Knight v Bishop, the fourth installment of the Owerd Chronicles, readers are transported back to a time of medieval power struggles and shifting loyalties. Owerd, the son of a humble English miller, has ascended to the rank of Earl through sheer courage, unmatched warrior skills, and unwavering loyalty to the Norman King William. However, this rise to power has also garnered him powerful enemies, particularly Bishop Odo of Bayeux, the king’s half-brother.
As Earl, Owerd faces the immense challenge of managing his estates, keeping the peace in his Shire, and fulfilling the king’s demands for his warrior prowess. Yet, as discontent simmers among other earls and the king’s absence becomes increasingly conspicuous, Owerd is forced to confront the harsh realities of serving a monarch he begins to see as cruel and oppressive. This tension sets the stage for a gripping narrative of loyalty, honor, and the inevitable clash between knight and bishop.
