Eustace Lynwood, a younger son of a Cumbrian knightly house, rides out to win his spurs in the age of Edward III, when English and French chivalry clashed across Gascony and Castile. Yonge borrows freely from Froissart and the old French life of Bertrand du Guesclin, weaving tournaments, captivities, a ghostly tale and a family feud into an education in honour.
Written for young readers but rich enough for adults who love the Hundred Years War. Download the free EPUB.
