Thron der Diebe

Normandy, 1203: An intrigue destroys the future of the young nobleman Eustache Busqués. Dispossessed and declared an outlaw, he flees into the forests and fights those who brought him down. When he is captured, he escapes and begins a new life as a pirate. During a raid, the self-assured and beautiful Héloise d’Évrecy falls into his clutches, destined to be married against her will. Together, they devise a plan that will secure her freedom and his revenge, and could also decide the outcome of a war. But Eustache has long since attracted the attention of both the English and the rival French kings, who both want to win the pirate over to their own purposes or destroy him.

Streit um den Thron, ein charismatischer Pirat, Verrat, Rache und Liebe

Who was the man his contemporaries called the "Black Monk"—and whom the whole world knows today as Robin Hood?
Hardly anyone knows that Eustache was so much more than the charming outlaw from the legend. After a stint as a monk in a Benedictine monastery, where he made a name for himself with his rough pranks and rule-breaking, he briefly rose to become the administrator of the County of Boulogne. An intrigue forced him to live as an outlaw and awakened a desire for revenge. He eventually embarked on a career as a pirate. So successful, in fact, that two kings hired him to gain naval power in the English Channel.
