lived in the days when the chivalry of feudal times was in all its glory. His father,
the Black Prince; his uncles, the sons of Edward the Third, and his ancestors in a long line, extending back to
the days of Richard the First, were among the most illustrious knights of Europe in those days, and their
history abounds in the wonderful exploits, the narrow escapes, and the romantic adventures, for which the
knights errant of the Middle Ages were so renowned. This volume takes up the story of English history at the
death of Richard the First, and continues it to the time of the deposition and death of Richard the Second,
with a view of presenting as complete a picture as is possible, within such limits, of the ideas and
principles, the manners and customs, and the extraordinary military undertakings and exploits of that wonderful
age.
