Edgar is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around the adventures of Arthur Winram, a page to Edward the Black Prince, and his experiences during significant battles in 14th century England, including those at Cressy and Poictiers. With a mixture of historical events and romanticized fiction, it offers a glimpse into a glorious and tumultuous period marked by warfare and the quest for honor.  The opening of the novel introduces readers to the vibrant atmosphere of Midsummer Eve in medieval London, setting a festive tone characterized by celebrations and traditions from that era. It is here that Arthur, a youthful and ambitious character raised in obscurity, arrives in the capital for the first time, fueled by his desire to prove himself. Accompanied by his grandsire, he visits an event where young knights display their skills, culminating in Arthur's impressive performance at the quintain, which earns him the attention of the Prince of Wales. This sparks the beginning of his journey from obscurity to prominence as he embarks on a path that intertwines his fate with that of the legendary Edward, ultimately leading them into the heart of war.
