About This Book

The narrative follows a noble household in the reign of Edward III, charting the domestic routines and martial obligations of its members as young Eustace trains in arms, a lady waits anxiously for a returning knight, and retainers manage estate life. Episodes move between homely detail and battlefield or captivity scenes, incorporating legendary anecdotes and material drawn from medieval chronicles. Recurring concerns are honor and loyalty, the strain between public service and private longing, and the influence of popular lore and historical incident on personal fortunes.
