An Empire Lost: The Third Crusade is coming to a bloody end... (Berengaria of Navarre Medieval Trilogy Book 3) Kindle Edition
Will Berengaria’s king ever return to her side?
1192
Havingdefeated Saladin’s forces in Jaffa, Richard the Lionheart has sent his queen, Berengaria of Navarre to Rome while he handles business elsewhere.
Not knowing when the king will return, Berengaria sets about making diplomatic connections with Pope Celestine III and Rome’s high-ranking cardinals.
Disaster strikes when the news arrives that Richard is being held hostage by Holy Roman Emperor Heinrich VI — a major political rival. Horrified, Berengaria and the king’s mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine, begin to raise funds to pay his ransom.
But not everyone is so eager to see Richard’s release. Having designs on England’s throne and the king’s French possessions, Richard’s brother, Prince John, has revolted in his absence, supported by King Philip of France. Together, they conspire to prolong Richard’s captivity.
With tensions rising throughout Europe, Berengaria worries that she will once more be caught in the middle of a war. And without her husband by her side, she begins to despair of ever producing an heir to secure England’s unwieldy throne…
Will Berengaria and Richard ever be reunited? Will they be able to secure England’s line of succession and their lands in France?
Or is Richard’s empire destined to fall…?
An Empire Lost is the third historical novel in The Berengaria of Navarre Medieval Trilogy: Early Plantagenet novels set during the Third Crusade and the reign of Richard the Lionheart.

About the author

Born in the midst of WWII it was no surprise to anyone when Austin took an interest in the military. First the Sea Cadets, then the Royal Marine Reserve. It was during his time with the Marines that Austin engaged in parachuting and became a diver, qualified at the Royal Naval Diving establishment of HMS VERNON in Portsmouth. A readily transferable skill which was put to good use when he transferred into the regular army and became a Recovery Mechanic in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. Worldwide postings followed, seeing service with the Royal Engineers, and, three years back with the Royal Marines at sea in Combined Operations specialising in underwater recovery. Returning to army life he qualified as a Combat Engineer Diver and then a Diving Supervisor.
One of his postings was to the Outer Hebrides where he witnessed the effects of the Highland Clearances. Curious as to how this social disaster took place, in the 19th century, he followed the trail of land ownership back to 1066, and the Norman invasion. There he came across the grossly under-reported, Robert. The eldest son of William the Conqueror, which led to Austin's first series, 'The Wayward Prince.' He is now hot on the trail of all victims of historical propaganda and false reporting, hence his latest series, The Wars of the Magna Carta, where victims of the murk of history are exhumed for further detailed examination - in the nicest possible way, of course. Enjoy his work, and see how much has changed in society since 1066.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI thoroughly enjoyed all three books in this series and read them, one right after another. The author brought Berringaria to life and made her human. I hadn't read much about this Crusade and actually knew nothing about her. Now I've had a great time reading about her and learning a bit of history!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI have faithfully read all three books in this series and absolutely loved them until the last page that literally just stops mid thought! Is there a new book coming? Did the author just give up on our heroine? Just give us a conclusion!! Did Berengaria ever marry? How did the author research the book to come up with the timeline/story? The story was so good until it just ended with the reader going over a cliff like the coyote in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. “What happened? Where’s the land? Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!” Splat. You are a very talented and gifted writer Austin Hernon! Just end your story better!!

5.0 out of 5 stars trilogy part 3
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseExcellent easy read book. The first two books took a couple of chapters to get into, but this one was straightforward immediately. Informative about a queen who I had not really heard much about. Recommend.
