Más información sobre el libro

Set during the Hundred Years' War, the narrative follows a band of adventurers in England, France, and Spain as they engage in the campaign led by Edward, the Black Prince, to reclaim the throne of Castile. The story culminates before the pivotal Battle of Nájera. Inspired by a lecture on the Middle Ages, Arthur Conan Doyle conducted thorough research before publishing this historical adventure in 1891. It also serves as a companion piece to his later work, Sir Nigel, which delves into the early exploits of key characters.
