Brazenhead the Great
Europe of the 15th century was a place of kings, dukes, captains – as well as thieves, rogues and vagabonds.
Salomon Brazenhead the Great bears the scars he has born in battle, and is someone who professes a deep knowledge of the world and its men.
A man of great ideas and imagination, he is famous throughout the land for his swordsmanship skills.
When he rises to a position of great power in Milan, he possesses power of life and limb over men, cities and armies.
He holds under his jurisdiction the country’s citizens, legions and neighbouring states.
Yet never content to stay in one place for long, he soon finds himself off on a new escapade.
He fights for the cause and believes in the greater good, slaying Heathens, Anabaptists, Incendiaries, Atheists and Rebels with impunity.
An exuberant character, the path of his life takes him on a wild adventure through Europe, from the cosmopolitan cities of Italy to the desolate marshes of Bordeaux.
Wherever he goes, he is undefeated in battle, revered and feared throughout the land.
Brazenhead the Great is a thrilling historical adventure tale.
