| Summary | "The Lances of Lynwood" by Charlotte M. Yonge is a historical novel set during the early 14th century, a time characterized by the ebb and flow of chivalric valor and conflicts in medieval England. The narrative revolves around the Lynwood family, particularly focusing on the themes of loyalty, honor, and the journey of the young Eustace Lynwood as he steps into the world of knighthood and the responsibilities that come with it. The opening of the tale introduces a richly detailed setting of Lynwood Keep amidst a backdrop of peace during King Edward III's reign. We meet key characters including Sir Reginald Lynwood, his gentle yet wistful wife Eleanor, and their aspiring young son Eustace, who yearns to prove himself as a worthy knight. The narrative begins with a sense of familial warmth and anticipation as Reginald returns from war, updating us on previous battles while laying the groundwork for Eustace's aspirations. As excitement builds, it leads to the brothers' dialog about chivalry, training, and the underlying tensions that arise from their return to the battlefield alongside the Prince of Wales, setting the stage for Eustace's transformation amid the trials of war.
