The Outlaw of Torn by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Fiction, Historical Hardcover - 2004

by Edgar Rice Burroughs


Summary

From the book:Here is a story that has lain dormant for seven hundred years. At first it was suppressed by one of the Planta-genet kings of England. Later it was forgotten. I happened to dig it up by accident. The accident being the relationship of my wife's cousin to a certain Father Superior in a very ancient monastery in Europe. He let me pry about among a quantity of mildewed and musty manuscripts and I came across this. It is very interesting - partially since it is a bit of hitherto unreco-rded history, but principally from the fact that it records the story of a most remarkable revenge and the adventurous life of its innocent victim - Richard, the lost prince of England. In the retelling of it, I have left out most of the history. What interested me was the unique character about whom the tale revolves - the visored horseman who but let us wait until we get to him.

It all happened in the thirteenth century, and while it was happening it shook England from north to south and from east to west; and reached across the channel and shook France. . . .
