My Lady Rotha: A Romance
Produced by Charles Bowen, from page scans provided by Google Books
"My Lady Rotha: A Romance" by Stanley John Weyman is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in the early 17th century during the Thirty Years' War, focusing on the fate of Countess Rotha of Heritzburg and those connected to her amid the turmoil of war. The story likely explores themes of loyalty, identity, and the sociopolitical climate of the time, particularly through the eyes of the main characters, including Lady Rotha herself and the loyal steward, Martin. At the start of the book, the quiet life in the small town of Heritzburg is disrupted by the news of Count Tilly's death, which hints at impending chaos from the war. The narrative is introduced through the eyes of Martin, a steward in service to the countess, who finds a delicate balance between war-related tensions and personal loyalties. The opening chapters depict Martin witnessing the town's shifting attitudes towards the presence of Papists, as well as the brewing conflict led by the local Burgomaster and others against the injured soldiers and their daughter who seek refuge. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the struggle between caring for the weak in times of strife and the heated sentiments of the townsfolk. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
