<p>A wholesome and edifying medieval adventure series written for teens by a teen. Rose's bleak life is filled with hunger, pain, and cruelty. To Lord Malcolm, she is just another slave, but she remembers a time of love, joy, and prosperity. Kidnapped in her childhood, Rose is not an ordinary slave; she is a princess. In spite of the brutal guards and hopeless situation, Rose manages to hold fast to her one thread of hope, her Protector and Savior. Her joy is renewed after meeting little Elly, but when a horrible accident lands her in the dungeons, she finds both her faith and her hope beginning to dwindle. A bizarre rescue finds Rose back in her childhood home...the castle at Malidone. Her hope is restored as her body heals, but her thoughts are forever with her fellow slaves. With the unwavering help of valiant Sir Ian, Rose prepares for the battle to end Lord Malcolm's tyranny. As the King, her brother, sets a rescue mission in motion, however, Rose's apprehension begins to grow. Years of pain and heartache are not easily forgotten. With the fate of her friends urging her on, Rose puts her fears aside, only to have them thrust upon her in the ultimate test. In facing her old master, Lord Malcolm himself, will Rose be able to trust in the King of Kings...and forgive instead of fear?</p>

<p>Textiles were used as markers of distinction throughout the Middle Ages and their production was of great economic importance to emerging and established polities. This book explores tapestry in one of the greatest textile producing regions, the Burgundian Dominions, c.1363-1477. It uses documentary evidence to reconstruct and analyse the production, manufacture, and use of tapestry. It begins by identifying the suppliers of tapestry to the dukes of Burgundy and their ability to spin webs between city and court. It proceeds by considering the forms of tapestry and their functions for urban and courtly consumers. It then observes the ways in which tapestry constructed social relations as part of gift-giving strategies. It concludes by exploring what the re-use, repair, and remaking of tapestry reveals about its value to urban and courtly consumers. By taking an object-centred approach through documentary sources, this book emphasises that the particular characteristics of tapestry shaped the strategies of those who supplied it and the ways it performed and constructed social relations. Thus, the book offers a contribution to the historical understanding of textiles as objects that contributed to the projection of social status and the cultural construction of political authority in the Burgundian polity.</p>
