BRIDE OF THE DEVIL: Agnes of Ponthieu, wife of Robert de Belleme

She is a great heiress; he is the wickedest man in Normandy.

Known to men far and wide as ‘The Devil,’ Robert de Belleme terrorises France alongside his equally fearsome mother, Mabel the Poisoner. But even a Devil needs an heir, and Mabel chooses the wealthy heiress Agnes of Ponthieu to be her son’s bride.. The marriage is unhappy, though the longed-for son and heir is eventually born…but when Robert is away on one of his military campaigns, Agnes flees back to her father’s castle.

She is not safe; her young son William is not safe.

The Devil will seek to claim his own.
