The House of Walderne
A Tale of the Cloister and the Forest in the Days of the Barons' Wars
Martin Robb
"The House of Walderne" by A. D. Crake is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of the Barons' Wars, it follows the lives of characters connected to the old castle of Walderne, particularly Sir Hubert and Brother Martin, as they navigate the complex social and political turmoil of medieval England. The narrative blends fictional elements with historical events, creating a rich tapestry of familial strife, love, and chivalric ideals. At the start of the story, we are introduced to the location and history of Walderne Castle, as well as its inhabitants—the Lord of Walderne and his children—who experience various conflicts and romances. The prologue establishes a mysterious and poignant atmosphere surrounding the castle. The opening chapters introduce significant characters, including a knight and his squire, who navigate a snowstorm to find shelter in a band of outlaws for the night. This entangles them in themes of loyalty, identity, and the struggle between duty and desire, setting the stage for Martin's journey between the wildness of the forest and the discipline of academia.
