The story delves into the rich tapestry of life at Windsor Castle, interweaving the monumental events of the time, particularly focusing on the courtship of Anne Boleyn and the king. The narrative is characterized by lush depictions of the surroundings, elaborate court customs, and supernatural elements, such as the haunting legend of Herne the Hunter, with central figures including the Earl of Surrey who experiences a vision tied to this mysterious spirit. The opening of "Windsor Castle" establishes a vivid scene as the youthful Earl of Surrey takes a solitary stroll through the picturesque Home Park near the castle. During his walk, he recounts an encounter with the spectral figure of Herne the Hunter, a legendary ghost associated with ominous folklore. The narrative transitions into Surrey's meeting with Morgan Fenwolf, the forest keeper, who reveals his own alarm at the supernatural happenings. Tension builds as Surrey's mind oscillates between skepticism and fear of the ghostly lore surrounding Windsor, culminating in a shared sense of dread and intrigue about the spectral hunter and the fate of those who encounter him.
