Summary "The Last of the Barons — Volume 07" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton is a historical novel written during the mid-19th century. This installment delves into the tumultuous events surrounding the Wars of the Roses, particularly focusing on the power struggles and conflicts between the nobles and the crown in England. The narrative prominently features key historical figures, including King Edward IV and the Earl of Warwick, examining themes of loyalty, rebellion, and the complexities of political relationships. The opening of the book introduces us to a moment of high tension as powerful factions within England respond to a popular rebellion led by Robin of Redesdale. Lord Hastings arrives to inform the king that he is needed urgently in the council chamber, where the atmosphere is charged with preparation for war against the insurgents. Edward IV stands ready, his demeanor shifting from casual to authoritative as he faces this rebellion not only from peasants but also nobility dissatisfaction, particularly against the Woodvilles. The scene sets the stage for conflict, both on the battlefield and within the complexities of court politics, as Edward grapples with the loyalty of his lords and the weight of imminent war. The tension escalates as various characters express their misgivings about the king's actions and the overarching influence of the popular discontent, hinting at the larger themes of loyalty and betrayal that will unfold throughout the story.
