The Bastard by John Jakes
The Bastard (Kent Family Chronicles)
- Phillipe Charboneau is the illegitimate son of Marie, the owner of a tavern in Auvergne, France. All his life, Marie has harbored the desire for Phillipe to be recognized by his father and for Phillipe to step into the life of the English nobility. However, when the time came for Phillipe's step family to recognize him, they plotted to kill him instead. Running from the danger, Phillipe travels to America against his mother's wishes. In America, Phillipe changes his name to Kent and joins those who are rebelling against the King's heavy handed ruling of the 13 colonies.
