Summary: "Roger the Bold: A Tale of the Conquest of Mexico" by F. S. Brereton is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set during the time of the Spanish conquests in the Americas, specifically focusing on the character of Roger de Luce, a young Englishman involved in a daring expedition aimed at uncovering the riches of the New World. The narrative weaves themes of adventure, exploration, and the clash of cultures as Roger and his companions embark on a treacherous journey filled with challenges and battles. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to a bustling scene in London where a sailor named Peter Tamworth captures the crowd's attention with a golden plaque supposedly sourced from the Indies, which piques the interest of noble figures, including the Earl of Essex. This leads to Roger de Luce, a tall and capable young man, being summoned to help translate the inscription on the plaque. As events unfold, Roger’s impressive physicality and linguistic skills earn him a place on a ship bound for the New World, setting the stage for the adventures that lie ahead. The narrative establishes a vivid backdrop, not only of Roger's personal journey but also of the broader implications of exploration and conquest during this historical period.
