Summary
At the age of 30, Robin is an Earl at last - but not the Earl of Waringham, the ancestral title that he still hopes to win back one day from the evil Mortimer.
England has seen other changes too: Edward III is dead and his successor, the boy king Richard II, is at odds with his uncle, the Duke of Lancaster. The introduction of a hated new poll tax brings about one of the most dangerous episodes in English history and Robin finds himself embroiled in the Peasants’ Revolt.
As the years pass, his old enemies continue to move against him and with the stability of England under increasing threat from an unpredictable and incompetent King, Robin finally joins forces with Lancaster and his son, Henry, in a revolution which aims to secure the nation’s future. And as he finds himself helplessly in love with the wife of his oldest and most implacable enemy, the stage is set for Robin’s final showdown with Mortimer.
In the third instalment of a six-part epic, Medieval Europe is brought to life in a multi-cast drama based on the novels by Rebecca Gable, author of the Scarlet City trilogy.
Featuring: Tom Alexander, Gareth Armstrong, Maxim Baldry, Tim Bentinck, Nick Brimble, Charlie Condou, Clare Corbett, Raymond Coulthard, Gareth David-Lloyd, Jacob Dudman, Richard Earl, Barnaby Edwards, Jonathan Firth, Genevieve Gaunt, Raj Ghatak, Helen Goldwyn, Derek Griffiths, Jonny Hibbs, Edward Holtom, Will Howard, Anthony Howell, Joe Jameson, Mack Keith-Roach, Rosalyn Landor, Chris Lew Kum Hoi, Damian Lynch, Michael Maloney, Miriam Margolyes, Leith McAllister, Glen McCready, Harry Mead, Tony Millan, Darin Nagada, George Naylor, Nicholas Pegg, David Seddon, Sam Stafford, Dan Starkey, Joseph Timms, Alexander Vlahos, Lizzie Waterworth-Santo, Finty Williams, Gabby Wong and Becky Wright.
Directed by Barnaby Edwards.

Superb historic novel and series
Against a highly accurate historical background we continue to follow Robin of Waringham through the tempestuous times of the 14th Century. Excellent narration and dramatic performances support this exciting story. A great listen!

Unbeatable
Wonderful stuff from Gable yet again. If you loved Jonah, you'll love Robin and his extended family even more. I'm pained that I have to wait a year for volume 4!

Great book- sad Audible have not produced the last 3 books
What a great set of books, I physically could not stop listening.
Well narrated, but it is just such a shame that audible have not finished the series. In fact it is making me want to return the books on principle that you cannot get to the conclusion of the story.

Needs editing
This book begins with what should actually be chapter 11. So if you don't want a spoiler, start at Chapter 2 and go back to chapter 1 after chapter 10. There is no reason for this except sloppy editing and you don't need to be an expert on the early 15th century to know that Robin and his son would not have been eating turkey at that time. These errors are jarring. Having got halfway through 'chapter 1' I actually downloaded volume 2 to listen to the last few chapters again to see if I had managed to forget some significant event . Then I went back to book 3 with any suspense in the first ten chapters destroyed .

Simply fantastic
I am a big history fan and love reading about the Plantagenet dynasty and the Wars of the Roses. I also happen to be a big fan of Rebecca Gablé's storytelling and these audible originals after listening to the 'Apprentice' series. So put these two together and I am one very happy listener.
On top of this, these books are so well narrated, the voice acting and sound effects are great, characters well developed, and it all pulls you in to a really engrossing story. I just really enjoy listening and I look forward to listening on my daily commute.
Would 100 recommend and can't wait for part 4...

Wonderful
Third book on the Waringham Chronicles, and loved every minute.Miriam Margolyes narration is faultless.
The story is around the Plantagenets, lots of entwining stories mixed with English history.
Cannot wait for the next book!!
