In Honour's Cause: A Tale of the Days of George the First
Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
"In Honour's Cause: A Tale of the Days of George the First" by George Manville Fenn is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The book is set during the tumultuous reign of George I of Britain, focusing on the adventures of a young page named Frank Gowan, who navigates the complex political landscape influenced by both loyalty to the reigning monarch and sympathy for the rival Jacobite cause." "The opening of the novel introduces us to Frank Gowan and his companion Andrew Forbes, both pages at the court of George I. The chapter vividly depicts their youthful banter and differing perceptions of their roles in the royal household, revealing tensions between adhering to court etiquette and their desire for freedom. A duel precipitated by a German baron’s insult sets the stage for a series of events that lead to Frank’s father’s disgrace. It hints at themes of loyalty, treason, and the moral dilemmas faced by youth in a politically charged environment, providing a compelling backdrop for Frank’s coming-of-age journey amidst the intrigue of the royal court."
