Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lady Amabel and the Shepherd Boy, or the Recluse of Byland Forest
All the great nobles of the time took part in these wars, taking with them their respective followers into the field, for the law called the feudal tenure then prevailed, and by this law, the tenants of an estate, capable of bearing arms, were compelled to follow their lord; who on his part was, in time of peace, equally bound to protect and support his vassals.
