P. R. James is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. The story traces the adventures of Sir Osborne Maurice, a young knight, as he navigates life and encounters various characters in a richly described historical setting that highlights the backdrop of 16th-century England, particularly around the court of King Henry VIII. The narrative promises themes of chivalry, romance, and the complexities of noble lineage. The opening of the novel introduces Sir Osborne riding along a rugged road in Kent during March 1520, embodying a mix of physical strength and contemplative thought. As he travels, he hears a scream and rushes to assist an old man being assaulted by a younger ruffian, revealing his noble character. This rescue leads him to an unexpected encounter with an astrologer named Sir Cesar, who hints at a deeper connection between them and forewarns Osborne of impending danger. Their conversation covers themes of fate, warning, and the influence of the stars, setting the stage for Sir Osborne's upcoming adventures and challenges as he seeks to reconnect with his past and confront the forces working against him.
