They knew nothing of it in England or all the Western countries in those days before Crecy was fought, when the third Edward sat upon the throne. There was none to tell them of the doom that the East, whence come light and life, death and the decrees of God, had loosed upon the world. Not one in a multitude in Europe had ever even heard of those vast lands of far Cathay peopled with hundreds of millions of cold-faced yellow men, lands which had grown very old before our own familiar states and empires were carved out of mountain, of forest, and of savage-haunted plain. Yet if their eyes had been open so that they could see, well might they have trembled. King, prince, priest, merchant, captain, citizen and poor labouring hind, well might they all have trembled when the East sent forth her gifts!

Heins Hugh de Cressi and Red Eve flee from Blythburgh, England to avoid her arranged marriage to Edmund Acour, Lord of Cattrina, a French Aristocrat. Red Eve was "one of the greatest heiresses in East Anglia," the daughter of Sir John, the Knight of Clavering. Hugh was only a merchant's son, but they were childhood sweethearts. Acour (Edmund of Noyon) was a Norman spy plotting against King Edward, and proof of this was discovered when his correspondence with King Philip of France was intercepted. Hugh rode to London to alert the King, and in the meantime Edmund Acour drugged Eve and forced her to marry him. The ceremony was interrupted by Hugh, and Acour escaped to France.Hugh de Cressi goes off to war and is knighted, and the English take Calais. Acour escapes him by switching his armor with another man at the battle at Crecy to avoid de Cressi's vengeance. Acour flees to Genoa, then Venice, and Hugh follows. When Hugh finally confronts his nemesis, there are supernatural rumblings and a mysterious plague--the beginning of the black plague.I won't spoil the ending by telling you if Hugh finally kills Edmund Acour and marries Red Eve.Haggard is known for his swashbuckling adventures and this one travels through Europe. However, if you don't like the old-fashioned writing style of Dumas or Hugo you won't like it.

A 14th century romance with plenty of intrigue, action, travel, and historical detail By Andorrac A romance that follows the struggles of a sturdy 14th century member of the minor gentry to retrieve his love, Red Eve, from the foul nobleman who forces her into marriage with the help of her father and a corrupt priest. Plenty of intrigue, action, travel, and historical detail, including a description of the famous battle of Crécy. I cannot say how accurate that historical detail is, but it's a fun read if you are not put off by prejudicial attitudes toward the French and the Roman Catholic church.
