Summary: "The Last of the Barons — Volume 04" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton is a historical novel written during the mid-19th century. The narrative unfolds during the tumultuous and politically charged era of Edward IV in England, centered around the intrigues and conflicts stemming from the War of the Roses. The story primarily follows Margaret of Anjou, the exiled queen, as she grapples with her dwindling power and the machinations of her adversaries, set against a backdrop of civil unrest and courtly betrayal. At the start of the text, we are introduced to Robert Hilyard, a conspirator disguised as a priest, who seeks Margaret, reflecting the desperation of the Lancastrian cause as they navigate the scheming court. Hilyard informs Margaret that their plans are in danger as documents related to their uprising are in the hands of Hastings, a courtier aligned with Edward IV. As tension escalates, Margaret wrestles with her pride and refusal to flee, while her ally urges her to abandon her regal garments for safety. The opening portion vividly sets the stage for the unfolding political drama, highlighting the central characters' motivations, desires, and the passionate stakes of their struggle for power.
