Sir Nigel

Description

Nigel Loring, the last offspring of a noble and once thriving line of warriors, struggles, along with his grandmother, to maintain their dwindling estate. Nigel dreams of becoming a knight and performing honorable deeds, but has no means to equip himself. Through some luck and skill, he soon comes to possess a powerful warhorse and a suit of armor. He attaches himself as squire to an old family friend who is going to the wars in France. Before leaving the shores of England, Nigel pledges to his beloved that he will not return to claim her for his bride until he has performed three great deeds.

The adventure moves from England to war on the sea, and then to France. In the face of much danger, the company of knights is always looking to do worshipful acts to bring honor upon themselves, and they are always guided by the highest ideals of chivalry.

Sir Nigel was first published serially in 1905. It is a prequel to The White Company, and takes place at the outset of the Hundred Years’ War.
