A Bittersweet Tale of Love, Loss, and the Power of Royalty
When Roger Bigod arrives at King Henry II's court to settle a bitter inheritance dispute, he becomes enchanted with Ida de Tosney, young mistress to the powerful king. A victim of Henry's seduction and the mother of his son, Ida sees in Roger a chance to begin a new life. But Ida pays an agonizing price when she leaves the king, and as Roger's importance grows and he gains an earldom, their marriage comes under increasing strain. Based on the true story of a royal mistress and the young lord she chose to marry, For the King's Favor is Elizabeth Chadwick at her best.
"An author who makes historical fiction come gloriously alive."
-Times of London
"Everyone who has raved about Elizabeth Chadwick as an author of historical novels is right."
-Devourer of Books Blog
"I rank Elizabeth Chadwick with such historical novelist stars as Dorothy Dunnett and Anya Seton."

Review:
Each novel by Elizabeth Chadwick continues to build her reputation of one of the queens of historical writing.
Another fantastic story .
This tale is replete with details about the history and culture of late 12th-century England, a time of royal, financial, familial, marital and political conflicts that keep the reader riveted to every page. A grand read!
Chadwick's characters are carefully and brilliantly crafted... extremely well written historical fiction.
Just like a fine wine Chadwick is to be savored all the way down to the last drop.
The characters really come to life.
I swear, each Elizabeth Chadwick book I read is even better than the last. Chadwick breathes such life into characters so long dead; to read one of her books is to have a peephole on the past.
Another awesome read for me and another fantastic book by Elizabeth Chadwick.
Filled with sacrifice, sibling rivalry and war, For the King's Favor is truly a gem.
The writing is exemplary and the attention to detail sublime... a book to be savored... an experience rather than just a read.
