Book 1 of the Christian historical fiction series, Faith of Our Fathers
The Royal Order of the Last Coin Self-published by Joyce Crawford
The Royal Order of the Last Coin is a work of fiction based on historical facts and the Burton family genealogy.
In 14th century England, on the William Wallace of Scotland’s execution, King Edward I knights Walter de Burton, one of his faithful warriors.
Walter de Burton struggles with his duty to the King of England and obedience to God, while Milton de Burton, Walter’s son and squire to the King, looks on with pride and longing.
Later, Milton realizes his dream of riding in formation with his father, and on the campaign, father and son speak secretly of the Holy Scriptures. Sir de Burton warns his son that the Church frowns upon anyone other than clergy reading the Holy Scriptures.
Today, because of the bravery of John Wycliff, sacred hymns of faith and scripture passages intersperse this story.
