Adam Nicolson, grandson of Harold Nicolson and Vita-Sackville West, recounts the story of four earls of Pembroke in " Quarrel with the King: the Story of an English Family on the High Road to War." Nicolson was inspired to write the book when, on a walk in southern England, he passed Wilton House and went in. There he encountered a large Van Dyck painting, seventeen feet wide and ten feet deep, of the the 4th Earl of Pembroke and his family. As he stood in front of the painting, he wondered what had led to the family's prominence. This book is the result.
