My daughter used to live in Leicester so I spent a lot of time there - it's a thriving centre for Indian immigrants now and that means luscious shops of silks and spices and jewelery at excellent prices. I didn't know the city's history from before the 14th century - (and then being Richard III's last stop before the battle of Bosworth of course) so I found this article particularly interesting.

My four volume novelized biography of Simon de Montfort is available from Amazon: Montfort The Early Years 1229 to 1243; Montfort The Viceroy 1243 to 1253; Montfort The Revolutionary 1253 to 1260 and Montfort The Angel with the Sword 1260 to 1265. The above is derived from a note in the Historical Context Section at the back of The Early Years. You might like to visit Simon de Montfort at Facebook, where original documents of the period are posted. His will at the moment. You can brush up on your Old French and read Simon in his exact own words.Katherine Ashehttp://www.simon-de-montfort.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-16706651310041758112012-01-23T07:50:31.017-08:002012-01-23T07:50:31.017-08:00Fascinating post.
