Summary: "Pikku herttua eli Rikhard Pelkäämätön" by Charlotte M. Yonge is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book follows the young prince Rikhard as he navigates life in 10th-century Normandy, shaped by the looming presence of his father, the duke, and the tumultuous events surrounding his royal heritage. Through Rikhard's adventures, the story delves into themes of honor, leadership, and the value of forgiveness amidst the backdrop of feudal loyalties. The opening of the novel introduces a vibrant scene within the castle of Bayeux, where preparation is underway for a grand dinner in honor of Duke Wilhelm. Young Rikhard makes his entrance, eager and enthusiastic, boasting about his recent hunting exploits while navigating his interactions with the adults around him, including the formidable lady Astrida and his grandfather, the lord Eerikki. As the chapter progresses, it becomes evident that Rikhard's life is about to change dramatically; the atmosphere shifts to foreboding when news arrives of the duke's tragic fate. The realities of nobility, the implications of power, and the weight of future responsibilities begin to bear down on young Rikhard, setting the stage for his journey through hardship, growth, and the development of a ruler's character.
