''The Noble Laird of Thornyburne'' is a Northumbrian border ballad written in three fyttes (sections) and published in 1855 by Saunders and Otley. The story follows the noble laird of Thornyburne, who falls in love with a beautiful maiden named Ellen. However, Ellen’s father refuses to give his blessing to the union, and instead arranges for her to marry a wealthy but cruel knight. The laird and Ellen continue to meet in secret, but their love is discovered by the knight, who challenges the laird to a duel. In the ensuing battle, the laird is mortally wounded, but manages to kill the knight before dying himself. Ellen, grief-stricken, dies soon after. The ballad is known for its vivid descriptions of Northumbrian landscapes and its portrayal of the conflict between love and duty.With Introduction And Glossary.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
