Summary "The Iron Arrow Head or The Buckler Maiden: A Tale of the Northman Invasion" by Eugene Sue is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the Northman invasion of France, depicting the interplay between the invaders and the local populace. The main characters include Eidiol, a skipper from Paris, his family, and potentially prominent figures like Rothbert, Count of Paris, who navigate the turbulence of this turbulent historical period. The opening of the story introduces us to the modest home of Eidiol, a dean of the Mariners' Guild of Paris, highlighting the precarious lives of common people in the face of feudal authority and impending invasion. Eidiol’s family members, including his sweet daughter Anne and bold son Guyrion, engage in discussions that reveal societal issues and tensions, as well as the boldness of young Guyrion who stands against Count Rothbert’s knights. As an altercation breaks out, involving themes of courage, justice, and class struggle, the scene sets the stage for the looming conflict between the Normans and the French. The narrative also hints at deeper implications of loyalty, love, and societal change amidst the backdrop of historical turbulence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
