"Under King Henry's Banners: A Story of the Days of Agincourt" by Percy F. Westerman is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds during the tumultuous period surrounding the Battle of Agincourt, showcasing the life of young Geoffrey Lysle, whose father is a knight embroiled in the conflicts of the time. The book explores themes of chivalry, loyalty, and the struggles of war as Geoffrey embarks on a journey to rescue his father from captivity. The opening of the story introduces readers to Warblington Castle, where Geoffrey eagerly awaits the return of his father, Sir Oliver Lysle, recently engaged in troubles in France. The scene is set in early 15th-century England, capturing the anticipation and underlying tension as news from the sea influences the daily lives of those at the castle. As Geoffrey learns about his father's return becoming complicated due to political turmoil and personal peril, the groundwork for Geoffrey’s character development and the challenges ahead is laid.
