Song of Wychaven — Pauline Bentley

'My husband must be worthy of Wychaven, not Wychaven of him.'

Trapped by circumstances, Meriel is convinced her unscrupulous relative, Lord Sedbury will not allow her to marry … not while he can drain rich Wychaven of its assets.

But Sedbury is out manoevred, quite unintentionally, by Sir Rolf of Blackleigh. Rolf draws Meriel into the service of Queen Eleanor -- only to find his plan to bed Meriel, the minstrel maid, backfires when King Henry II organizes his marriage to Lady Meriel of Wychaven!
