Summary: "The Constant Prince" by Christobel Coleridge is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative explores the lives of the Infantes of Avis, the sons of King Joao I of Portugal, particularly focusing on their quests for knighthood amid a backdrop of significant historical events like the siege of Ceuta and the wars against the Moors. Engaging themes such as valor, loyalty, and the contrast between personal ambition and royal duty are woven through the interactions of these noble brothers. The opening of "The Constant Prince" introduces us to the young princes deep in contemplation of their ambitions for knighthood, with particular focus on their desire to earn their spurs through significant acts of valor rather than mere ceremonial tournaments. Set against the lush backdrop of a Portuguese summer, the brothers engage in discussions that reveal their individual personalities and aspirations, as well as their longing to engage in battle and serve a noble cause. This sets the stage for the unfolding historical drama, hinting at themes of brotherly loyalty, chivalry, and the turbulent events of their era, particularly the looming conflict with Moorish forces. The tone is set for an adventure filled with both personal and collective trials as they navigate their destinies. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
