Summary "The Prince and the Page: A Story of the Last Crusade" by Charlotte M. Yonge is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set against the backdrop of the tumultuous era of the last Crusade and follows the journey of Richard de Montfort, a young boy and son of the noble Earl of Leicester, as he navigates the complexities of loyalty, rebellion, and familial ties during a period of strife. The story intertwines themes of chivalry and the struggle for justice, embodied in the contrast between noble intentions and the harsh realities of war. At the start of the novel, the scene is set in Alton Wood, where Richard, now an outlaw, reflects on his precarious situation and yearns for the companionship of his family and friends. He encounters Adam, a stalwart forester, and learns that Prince Edward has come to the area, likely to hunt him down due to his status as an outlaw. Tensions rise when their paths cross, leading to a fray between Richard's protector and a huntsman. This encounter initiates a series of events that force Richard to confront his past, his father's legacy, and his conflict with Edward. The opening sets a tone rich in historical detail and character development, hinting at a deeper exploration of loyalty and the impacts of war as Richard's story unfolds.
