      AUTHOR’S NOTE

      The Devil’s Diadem is set, not in the early twelfth-century England of our past, but in a fictional version of that world. While there are many similarities between our past and the twelfth-century world of The Devil’s Diadem, and many characters and points of historical reference remain the same, there are still characters and issues which render this England not quite the one you may have learned about in history books.
