More DescriptionThe Royal Order of the Last Coin is a work of fiction based on historical facts and the Burton family genealogy. In 14th century England, on the execution day of William Wallace of Scotland, King Edward I knights Walter de Burton, one of his faithful warriors. Sir Walter de Burton struggles with his duty to the king of England and his obedience to God, while Milton de Burton, Walter's son, and a squire to the king, looks on with pride and longing. Later Milton realizes his dream of riding in formation with his Father, and on that campaign, the father and son speak secretly of the Holy Scriptures. Sir de Burton warns his son that the Church frowns upon anyone other than clergy reading the Holy Scriptures.Today, because of the bravery of John Wycliff, sacred hymns of faith and scripture passages intersperse this story.
