Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Lord of Dynevor: A Tale of the Times of Edward the First" by Evelyn Everett-Green is a historical novel set during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the noble family of Dynevor, focusing primarily on the young prince Wendot and his brothers as they navigate the complexities of loyalty, honor, and the tensions between the Welsh and English during a tumultuous time in their nation's history. Themes of patriotism, personal bonds, and the struggle for autonomy are highlighted as the boys are thrust into a web of conflict that tests their courage and convictions. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Wendot and his brothers in the picturesque yet perilous setting of Dynevor Castle. The boys engage in carefree banter while hunting in the wild hills, but their joy is soon overshadowed by a sense of impending conflict as news arrives of English guests at their castle. Tensions surface as the boys learn of their father’s hospitality towards these guests, particularly the young Lady Gertrude Cherleton. As Wendot befriends her, relations between the brothers begin to strain, especially with Llewelyn, who is driven by intense nationalistic fervor. The opening chapters set the stage for a dramatic adventure, showcasing themes of loyalty, family, and the complexities of war as they emerge from both personal and national struggles.
