Text file produced by Lee Dawei, David Moynihan, Michelle Shephard, Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team HTML file produced by David Widger "The Strong Arm" by Robert Barr is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. The narrative centers around Count Herbert von Schonburg, a young knight returning from the Crusades, who finds himself entangled in conflicts between Christian and Muslim forces and the feudal power struggles within his own land. The book begins with Herbert's confrontation with the Emir Soldan, revealing themes of bravery, honor, and the complexities of warfare, as Herbert navigates his captured status with wit and determination. The opening of the novel introduces us to the aged Emir Soldan, who faces rebellion among the young commanders in his camp during the Crusades. Despite the young Saracens' eagerness to confront the Germans led by Count Herbert, they are quickly humbled by Herbert's combat skills. The narrative then shifts to Herbert's eventual capture and his interactions with the Emir, setting up a backdrop of tension that leads Herbert to reconsider his original quest for glory. As he is taken to Gudenfels Castle, he meets Beatrix, the Countess, who becomes a pivotal figure in his emotional journey. Their complex relationship hints at deeper themes of loyalty, love, and the burdens of lineage that will unfold as the story progresses. In this rich historical setting, Barr crafts a tale of heroism and humanity amidst the backdrop of medieval strife.
