Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Broad Stone of Honour, Vol. 1 of 2: Or the True Sense and Practice of Chivalry
Padilla, sitting like a queen in the midst of other ladies, and the king placing on her head a crown of ?owers; and in another place she sat under the shade of a wood, the king showing her a heron. It was affecting to view these scenes, now closed for ever to the figures which once animated them; to see the beautiful faces of those who once rained in?uence and judged the prize, which are now long since dissolved in the tomb to re?ect, in this magnificent gallery, cheered with soft music, How many met who never yet had met, To part too soon, but never to forget.
