"Yolanda: Maid of Burgundy" by Charles Major is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of 15th century Europe, the story revolves around the young Count Maximilian of Hapsburg and his passionate admiration for the beautiful Princess Mary of Burgundy, as well as his tumultuous journey toward self-discovery and love. The narrative hints at the intricate political entanglements of the time, especially the significance of marriage alliances that could shape the fate of nations. The opening of the novel introduces Sir Karl de Pitti, a seasoned knight and tutor to Maximilian, who reflects on the nature of true heroism and the often harsh realities faced by women in historical contexts. Sir Karl is particularly concerned about young Max's sheltered life in Styria, where strict conventions prevent him from realizing his potential. As the tale unfolds, we see Max's longing for adventure and independence blossom into a determination to pursue both fortune and love in Burgundy. The chapter establishes a rich historical ambiance while foreshadowing the many challenges and romantic entanglements that lie ahead for Max, including the dangers posed by political machinations and his growing feelings for a burgher maiden named Yolanda, who adds another layer of complexity to his journey.
