The Lady of Loyalty House (Esprios Classics)
Justin Huntly McCarthy (1859 - 20 March 1936) was an Irish author, historian, and nationalist politician. He was a Member of Parliament (MP) from 1884 to 1892, taking his seat in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom. He was the son of Justin McCarthy (1830-1912). Since both father and son were authors, historians, and Members of Parliament, they are sometimes confused in lists and compilations. McCarthy wrote various novels, plays, poetical pieces and short histories. He was briefly married to the actress Cissie Loftus. They married in Edinburgh in 1894, and though they divorced in 1899, she originated the role of Katherine de Vaucelles, the heroine in If I Were King in 1901.
If I Were King
If I Were King explores the story of a real-life poet, Francois Villon, who shows impressive character development when given a chance to win his love and save France. The story starts when Villon gets himself in trouble by giving his negative opinions of the king too freely. Unfortunately, King Louis was present in the tavern in disguise, and Villon got arrested. He is made Grand Constable of France for a week as a challenge to do a better job running the kingdom. However, he would be executed after a week of service unless he succeeds in an impossible task. McCarthy maintains suspense till the end of the story keeping the readers curious about Villon and his ability to escape execution and win the woman he loves. As the main character of this historical romance is based on the real-life poet François Villon, it acts as a window to 15th century France under the rule of Louis XI during a time of tension and turmoil between King Louis and the Duke of Burgundy. The Shakespearean undertones used to present the love story of the vagabond poet makes this work a remarkable romance.

Hooked
Elsewhere, the terms stylist, guru, enthusiast and pioneer have been routinely used to describe the second-youngest man to win Hurler of the Year and the youngest coach to win a national league title. So too though has the word traitor by some within Cork after Justin McCarthy became the first high-profile hurling figure to coach outside and against his native county. His individualistic and forthright manner was particularly unpopular among the county board which twice ousted him from the Cork coaching job even though he delivered an All-Ireland and remained unbeaten in Munster while in that role.
