Border Lances is a historical romance novel set in the Northern Marches during the reign of Edward III. The story follows the lives of two families, the Dacres and the Howards, who are caught in the midst of the ongoing conflict between England and Scotland. The Dacres are a noble family who have lived in the area for generations, while the Howards are newcomers who have recently acquired land in the region.The novel explores the complex relationships between the two families, as well as their interactions with other members of the community, including the local monks and the Scottish raiders who frequently cross the border. The main characters, Sir Richard Dacre and Lady Maud Howard, are drawn together despite their families’ bitter rivalry, and their love story is intertwined with the larger political and social events of the time.Border Lances is a vivid portrayal of life in the medieval borderlands, with detailed descriptions of the landscape, the customs and traditions of the people, and the brutal realities of war. The novel also touches on themes of loyalty, honor, and sacrifice, as the characters struggle to balance their personal desires with their duty to their families and their country.Written by Emma Louisa Seeley and first published in 1886, Border Lances is a classic work of historical fiction that continues to captivate readers with its richly imagined world and compelling characters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
