Rogue Herries

Rogue Herries is a historical novel; and it was set in a part of the country that the author loved; the place he moved to in middle age, to live for the rest of his life.
Francis Herries, a man who has clearly done much to earn the sobriquet 'Rogue', has uprooted his family from their Yorkshire home, because he knew that his sins would soon catch up with him if he stayed. The travelling party includes his wife; his two daughters, Mary and Deborah; his only son, David; his loyal manservant; a woman who carries the title of housekeeper but is in fact his mistress; and a priest who held some very strong views....
