The outlaw of Torn
Produced by Judith Boss, and David Widger
"The Outlaw of Torn" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a historical fiction novel written during the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the tumultuous political landscape of 13th century England, focusing particularly on a young boy named Richard, who is the lost prince of England, and his adventures as a result of the conflict between King Henry III and Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester. The story unfolds against a backdrop of power struggles, revenge, and themes of loyalty and identity. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the historic context, indicating that Richard’s life takes a dramatic turn following an insult thrown by King Henry at Simon de Montfort. This ignites tensions that will shatter lives and change the course of history in England. As the narrative progresses, we witness the scheming of Sir Jules de Vac, a master of fencing filled with rage and a thirst for revenge, as he plots against the king and his family. Amidst this chaos, the young prince is abducted by de Vac, leading to a series of events that shape his identity and the world around him. The text lays the groundwork for a compelling tale of adventure and underlines the perils of political strife, setting the stage for Richard’s eventual quest for justice and rightful claim.
