The tavern knight
Produced by Polly Stratton, and David Widger
"The Tavern Knight" by Rafael Sabatini is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story is set during the tumultuous period of the English Civil War and revolves around Sir Crispin Galliard, dubbed the Tavern Knight, who embodies a complicated blend of roguish charm and a tortured past, struggling with themes of honor, love, and revenge. The book introduces his tumultuous relationship with a young Scotsman, Kenneth Stewart, as they navigate the perils of their factional loyalties and personal grievances. At the start of the novel, we meet Sir Crispin Galliard, who is portrayed with a dark, sardonic humor and a troubled demeanor in a meager tavern setting. He is engaged in a petty exchange with Kenneth Stewart, who has a more virtuous and puritanical perspective. Their interaction is interrupted by the arrival of an Irishman named Hogan, who seeks refuge after committing a violent act, setting the stage for a series of events that will challenge the moral and ethical boundaries of both men. As Crispin lies about his past in an unrepentant attitude, the opening chapters serve to establish their complex relationship against the backdrop of impending danger, suggesting a story rich in conflict, loyalty, and the search for redemption.
