Summary "When Knighthood Was in Flower" by Charles Major is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book narrates the romantic tale of Charles Brandon and Mary Tudor, sister of King Henry VIII, during the vibrant and tumultuous reign of the Tudors in England. The story unfolds in a picturesque setting filled with courtly intrigue, chivalry, and the personal struggles of its characters, particularly focusing on themes of love and ambition against the backdrop of royal expectations. The opening of the novel introduces us to its narrator, Sir Edwin Caskoden, a member of the Brandon family and a master of dance at the court of Henry VIII. He recounts the proud lineage of his ancestors and sets the stage for the story of the formidable Charles Brandon, who has just survived a fateful duel against a notorious adversary, Judson. Charles' introduction to the royal court is filled with anticipation, especially as he is drawn into the orbit of Mary Tudor. Their initial encounters hint at the tumultuous relationship that will develop, characterized by tension, attraction, and the implications of social status. The narrative combines rich historical detail with lively dialogue, promising a tale steeped in both romance and drama as the characters navigate the complexities of love and honor in a royal court.
