I & II of Tales Of The Crusaders. Produced by Joshua Hutchinson, David Moynihan, Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Betrothed" by Walter Scott is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. Set during the tumultuous times of the Crusades, the story explores themes of love, betrayal, and the complexities of honor through the lives of its characters, particularly focusing on Gwenwyn, a Welsh prince, and Eveline Berenger, the beautiful daughter of a Norman knight. At the start of the novel, the narrative introduces the sociopolitical climate of Wales in 1187, where Welsh princes, despite being embroiled in conflicts, are captivated by the notion of participating in the Crusades. Specifically, Gwenwyn harbors ambitions to court Eveline, but his intentions are complicated by her father's refusal to entertain the alliance, prompting Gwenwyn to consider the possibility of warfare to claim her. The opening chapters depict Gwenwyn's internal struggles and his interactions with various other characters, setting the stage for the unfolding drama that intertwines personal ambitions with the broader historical context of conflict during the Crusades.
