Baring-Gould is a historical fiction narrative written in the late 19th century. This novel is set against the backdrop of 12th-century Wales, where the conflict between the Norman invaders and the native Welsh is explored through the lenses of political intrigue, personal ambition, and the interplay of power and faith. The story revolves around characters such as King Henry, the beautiful Nest, and the determined Pabo, the Archpriest, who grapple with the consequences of the Norman domination and decisions that threaten their people’s fate. The opening of the novel introduces King Henry, who is in ill health and surrounded by advisors as he contemplates his political maneuvers, particularly relating to Wales. He summons Gerald de Windsor and his wife, Nest, a Welsh noblewoman, to discuss strategies for subjugating the native people. As the dialogue unfolds, it becomes clear that Nest is caught in a complex web of loyalty and betrayal, as she struggles with her identification with her people and her role as Gerald's wife. The tension heightens with the introduction of Gerald's desire for support against the Welsh and the pending appointment of a new bishop, which could spell disaster for the Welsh culture and their way of life. This section sets the stage for a rich exploration of themes such as power, identity, and resistance within the broader narrative.
