Summary "The Siege of Norwich Castle: A story of the last struggle against the Conqueror" by M. M. Blake is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set in the context of post-Norman Conquest England, focusing on the tensions between the new Norman nobility and the remaining Saxon lords. Central to the story are the characters Emma Fitzosbern and Ralph de Guader, whose romantic prospects are complicated by political intrigues and the ongoing struggle for power. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to the beautiful Emma Fitzosbern, the ward of the influential Earl of Hereford, and Ralph de Guader, the powerful Earl of East Anglia. As Ralph vies for Emily's hand in marriage, the Conqueror's disapproval emerges as a critical obstacle, leading to a dramatic backdrop filled with political tension. The opening chapter explores themes of love, loyalty, and ambition, highlighted by a fortune-telling scene that foreshadows the merging of personal and political struggles. As relationships develop and loyalties are tested, the groundwork is laid for a gripping story that blends romance with the harsh realities of a nation in turmoil.
