| Summary | "Men of Iron" by Howard Pyle is a historical novel set in the early 15th century. The story revolves around young Myles Falworth, the son of a nobleman who has fallen out of favor with the crown, as he navigates the dangers and intrigues of a turbulent medieval England following King Richard II's overthrow. Throughout the novel, readers witness Myles's journey from childhood to knighthood against a backdrop of political strife, betrayal, and personal growth. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the political turmoil of the time, highlighting the treachery that surrounds King Henry IV’s ascent to power. Myles, just a child, experiences the chaotic aftermath of betrayal first-hand when his father suffers ruin due to his loyalty to the previous king. As the narrative unfolds, we see Myles's vibrant childhood in a new, humble home, his physical training for knighthood, and the complexities of growing up in a world where dignity depends on martial prowess and noble lineage. The opening sections set the stage for Myles's evolution as he faces the challenges of courtly life, the harsh realities of warfare, and ultimately, the quest for his own honor and identity.
