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.
