The Lances of Lynwood is a historical fiction novel written by Charlotte M. Yonge. The story takes place in medieval England and follows the life of young Sir Edmund Lynwood, the last of his family's line. After his father's death in battle, Edmund is taken in by the Earl of Pembroke and raised alongside his own son, Reginald. As the two boys grow up, they become close friends and are eventually knighted together. However, Reginald's jealousy and ambition lead him to betray Edmund, accusing him of treason and causing him to be banished from England. Edmund travels to the Holy Land and fights in the Crusades, eventually returning to England to clear his name and reclaim his family's lands. Along the way, he meets and falls in love with Lady Alicia, the daughter of his father's former enemy. The Lances of Lynwood is a tale of chivalry, honor, and redemption, with themes of forgiveness, loyalty, and the importance of family ties. It is a classic example of Victorian-era historical fiction and has been beloved by readers for over a century.At last he beheld the Cathedral of Burgos rising in the midst of the Moorish fortifications of the town, and, halting his men under the shade of a few trees, he rode on in search of the marshals of the camp, and as soon as the open space for his tents had been assigned, he returned to see them raised. Gaston, who had of late become more silent, was lifted from his mule, and assisted into the tent, where he was laid on his couch, and soon after, Eustace was relieved from his anxiety on Leonard Ashton's account, by his appearance. He came stumbling in without one word of apology, only declaring himself as weary as a dog, and, throwing himself down on a deer-skin on his own side of the tent, was fast asleep in another minute.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
