"The Life and Death of Richard Yea-and-Nay" by Maurice Hewlett is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative focuses on the tumultuous life of King Richard I of England, known for his adventurous spirit and complex relationships, particularly with the fair Jehane Saint-Pol. The book intricately weaves themes of love, honor, and the conflicts of kingship against a richly detailed backdrop of medieval politics and warfare. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Richard as he rides through a dark, oppressive night determined to see Jehane one last time, despite his inner turmoil regarding his duty to his father, King Henry. The opening vividly describes Richard’s urgent journey and highlights the ominous fires flickering in the northern sky, which symbolize impending conflict. As he arrives at the Dark Tower, he finds Jehane waiting for him, and their complex relationship begins to unfold amidst their conversations about obligations and desires. The Abbot Milo, who accompanies Richard, offers a perspective on their entangled fates, and through their exchanges, we see the youthful duke’s struggles between love and familial loyalty, setting the stage for the emotional and dramatic events that will follow.
