A young knight, Sir Eustace Lynwood must prove his loyalty in this chivalrous story set in the time of Edward, the Black Prince, just at the beginning of the War of the Roses.

Edward occupies the French region of Bordeaux and calls upon his liege lords to maintain his kingdom as his health fails. Young Sir Eustace Lynwood, newly knighted upon the battlefield, must preserve his nephew’s rights to his lands back in England while defending himself from treachery at court. Evil knights seek to steal the nephew’s land and disgrace Sir Eustace by feeding false rumors about him to the Prince. They plot to kill Sir Eustace; but they don’t account for his perseverance and the loyalty which he inspires in his men-at-arms, the Lances of Lynwood. Sir Eustace maintains a humble chivalry throughout adversity and proves a model of virtue.
