(Bernhard Severin) Kesson, John Kesson, J. 07019669 The Childhood of King Erik Menved: An Historical Romance Produced by Charles Bowen, from page scans provided by Google Books "The Childhood of King Erik Menved: An Historical Romance" by B. S. Ingemann is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The story unfolds in late 13th century Denmark, focusing on the childhood of Young Erik Menved, the son of King Erik Glipping, amidst political turmoil and personal intrigue. The narrative intertwines real historical characters and events with fictional elements, offering a glimpse into Danish history through the eyes of its characters. At the start of the novel, we find ourselves in Gremermarsh, where a group of seamen and porpoise-hunters is anxiously watching a skiff struggle to land amid a sudden storm. Old Henner Friser, a respected ferryman, takes charge, commanding the crew with authority as they prepare to assist the skiff. The dialogue reveals the tension in the kingdom, discussing the political rivalries and ambitious nobles, particularly Duke Waldemar, who poses a threat to the young king. The action piques with the abduction of Henner's granddaughter, Aasé, leading to a dramatic confrontation with robbers and the entrance of Drost Peter Hessel, who seeks to rescue her. This opening sets the tone for a tale woven with valor, danger, and the complexities of loyalty and betrayal in a time of strife. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
