The 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 day that William Wallace of Scotland was executed, King Edward I knighted one of his faithful warriors, Walter de Burton.
At the same time, Sir de Burton’s son, Milton, was a squire to the king and later realized his dream of riding with his Father in formation.
Christian faith and scripture passages intersperse this story, along with a warning from Sir de Burton to his son that the Church frowned upon anyone other than clergy reading the Holy Scriptures.
