| Summary | "The White Knight: Tirant Lo Blanc" by Joanot Martorell and Martí Joan de Galba is a historical novel written during the late 15th century. The narrative unfolds in a rich tapestry of chivalric adventures, courtly love, and battles, centering around the valiant knight Tirant lo Blanc, who is set on a heroic path to win glory and the heart of his lady while navigating the conflicts of Moorish invasions in England. The opening of the novel introduces Count William of Warwick, a seasoned knight, who embarks on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem after a life of warfare. Through an emotional farewell to his wife and son, he leaves behind his worldly life. His journey takes a turn when he returns to England disguised as a hermit after faking his own death, only to find his homeland under threat from Moorish forces. The countess and the king seek refuge in Warwick as the invading Moors plunder the land. The tone is established as one that honors chivalric values, presenting a compelling backdrop for the eventual emergence of Tirant lo Blanc, who is poised to take on the mantle of heroism in this rich narrative of love, sacrifice, and valor.
