Can you suggest historical fiction books about Edward the Black Prince of Wales?

Question

While I enjoy a good scholarly read as much as the next gal, I'd love to know if there are any fiction books that feature the Black Prince.

Answer 1

He's a character - but not the main character in the one at link 1:
Katherine (Paperback) by Philippa Gregory

Same for link 2:
The Nameless Day by Sara Douglass

Same for link 3:
Letter from Poitou (Paperback) by Michael J. Eardley
"Eve's eldest boy, James Audley (the younger) becomes a favorite of Edward III and the Black Prince of Wales and was a founding member of the Garter Knights. He was also a hero in the battle of Poitiers in the Hundred Years War.

Eve lives a full, sometimes overwhelming life and sees the ripe old age of 76 years before she passes away in the same year and month as her celebrated son.

This was an excellent novel of 14th century history seen through the eyes of Eve by a first time author, Michael J. Eardley. I anticipate more from this author and sincerely hope he continues along this line and writes about the short but notable life of the Black Prince of Wales. Bravo James!!!!!!"

The First Princess of Wales A Novel Written by Karen Harper:
"When the lovely and high-spirited Joan of Kent is sent into the politically charged court of King Edward III, where chivalry is promoted but treachery prevails, she hopes to redeem her family’s dishonored name. Naïve, Joan is unprepared for the devious maneuverings of her fellow courtiers; then she learns it was the royal family who betrayed her father. Joan targets Edward, Prince of Wales, for her revenge, but what begins as strategy grows into love. Will Joan allow her true feelings for Edward to take precedence over vengeance? And if she does, what will be the price?"

and for 5:
St. George For England by G.A. Henty
"he great events that filled the days of the reign of Edward III come to life through the masterful pen of G. A. Henty. The story is set at the beginning of what has come to be known as the Hundred Years’ War, between England and France (1337-1453). Accompany Walter, the hero of the story, to Cressy and Poitiers. Witness the destruction of the Spanish fleet, the plague of the Black Death, and the Jacquerie rising. Henty’s classic St. George for England reveals the valiant and noble character of Edward, the Black Prince of Wales."

Strange, that for an historical character with such an exciting (if short) life, the Black Prince doesn't seem to have an historical fiction book devoted mainly to him.
Hmmm, maybe you should write one.

Answer 2

The Black Prince Book

Answer 3

I suggest Trinity by Leon Uris, which is set in Ireland between the period of the famine of the 1840s and the Easter Rising of 1916. The Once and Future King by T.H. White chronicles the raising and education of King Arthur, his rule as a king, and the romance between his best knight Sir Lancelot and his Queen Guinevere, an excellent book, though more fantasy than historical. These are my two all time favorite books, I hope you will give them a try.
