Henty’s preface defends the uprising of the Commons under Richard II as justified, and his story follows a young gentleman through the troubled years of serfdom’s last stand in England. A fencing bout, a meeting with Wat Tyler, a rescue, the friendship of a city merchant and a Flemish ally, and the mob’s cry of death to the Flemings carry him to the rebels’ march on London.
