Project Gutenberg 2017-09-12 Public domain in the USA. 170 Stockton, Frank R. 1834 1902 Stockton, Francis Richard Stockton, Frank Richard The Story of Viteau Produced by Bruce Albrecht, Barry Abrahamsen and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Story of Viteau" by Frank R. Stockton is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book is set in the picturesque region of Burgundy, France, over six hundred years ago, and follows the adventures of two brothers, Raymond and Louis, who are navigating the complexities of life in a feudal society during a period of shifting power dynamics following the Duke of Burgundy's defeat. The story grapples with themes of chivalry, education, and the impending responsibilities of nobility. At the start of the narrative, we meet the two brothers enjoying a summer day by a stream as they discuss their futures. Their lives are disrupted by the impending departure of Louis to the castle of Count de Barran to learn the ways of knighthood, while Raymond remains to continue his education under their mother, the Countess of Viteau. The narrative sets a rich historical background, detailing the boys’ familial preparations and their mother’s dedication to their education in a time where such pursuits were rare for noblewomen. However, the plot thickens with hints of danger lurking, particularly an ominous Dominical figure and tensions arising due to the religious inquisition, foreshadowing conflict that will inevitably affect the brothers' lives.
