The Boy Knight: A Tale of the Crusades Etext produced by Ted Garvin, Annika Feilbach and PG Distributed Proofreaders HTML file produced by David Widger "The Boy Knight: A Tale of the Crusades" by G. A. Henty is an adventure novel set in a historical context, likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows Cuthbert, a young man who is of mixed Saxon and Norman heritage, as he navigates through a tumultuous period marked by conflicts between local barons and the plight of the Saxons living under Norman rule. The narrative introduces us to the complexities of feudal society, the struggles of Cuthbert's friends among the outlaws, and the impending call to the Crusades. The opening of the story introduces readers to a bright August morning where Cuthbert observes armed men gathering at the castle of the Earl of Evesham, hinting at upcoming conflicts. Lucidly illustrating the boy's mixed heritage and acute awareness of the tensions surrounding him, the scene quickly escalates with the abduction of the Earl's daughter, Lady Margaret. As Cuthbert learns of the danger to the outlaws from an impending raid, he races against time to warn them, leading to a chain of events where he ultimately becomes involved in the rescue effort. His character is portrayed as loyal and brave, setting the stage for further adventures and the heroism that unfolds in the context of the Crusades. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
