At the beginning of Highlander's Redemption (Sinclair Brothers Trilogy, Book 2), King Edward I of England dies. Well, the King really did die on July 7, 1307. Edward was called "Longshanks" for his remarkable height and "The Hammer of the Scots" for his merciless suppression of the Scottish people (whom he viewed as rebellious subjects in need of punishment).

He is rumored to have asked that his heart be taken to the Holy Land, and that the flesh be boiled from his bones so that his skeleton could be carried into Scotland on future campaigns to suppress the rebellion--yikes! Eventually, he was buried at Westminster Abbey. 

If you haven't already, check out Highlander's Redemption to see where fact meets fiction. Happy reading!
