The Tavern Knight is a historical fiction novel written by Rafael Sabatini. The story is set in the 17th century and follows the adventures of Sir Crispin Galliard, a former soldier turned highwayman who becomes embroiled in a plot to overthrow King James II.Galliard, known as the Tavern Knight, is a charismatic and cunning character who is both feared and admired by those who cross his path. He is a man of honor and chivalry, but also has a dark side that is revealed as the story progresses.The novel is filled with action and intrigue, as Galliard navigates the dangerous political landscape of England in the late 1600s. He is aided by a cast of colorful characters, including a beautiful young woman named Rosamund, who becomes his love interest.As the plot unfolds, Galliard finds himself caught up in a conspiracy to overthrow the king, led by a group of powerful nobles who seek to restore the Catholic monarchy. Galliard must use all of his wits and skills to outmaneuver his enemies and protect those he cares about.The Tavern Knight is a thrilling tale of adventure and romance, filled with historical detail and vivid characters. It is a classic example of Sabatini’s masterful storytelling, and a must-read for fans of historical fiction and swashbuckling adventure.It was not to be his good fortune, however, to be in the earlier work of the day. Until afternoon he was kept within the walls of Worcester, chafing to be where hard knocks were being dealt - with Montgomery at Powick Bridge, or with Pittscottie on Bunn’s Hill. But he was forced to hold his mood in curb, and wait until Charles and his advisers should elect to make the general attack.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
