A castle, a feud, and a chapel of peace

Set around Adlerstein, a castle above a dangerous ford, Charlotte M. Yonge’s historical tale links the fate of a burgher maid with the lives of twin barons. Their bond, their separation after a battle, and the conflict between rival barons shape the story’s central thread. The setting gives the family and political tensions a clear focal point: the ford is both a place of danger and, by the close, the site of a chapel built for peace. This black-and-white edition also includes illustrations by Marguerite de Angeli.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in historical fiction set in the Renaissance.
  • Readers who enjoy stories centered on family bonds, rivalry, and reconciliation.

Book overview

Through strange events, a little burgher maid becomes mistress of a castle of robber barons. This lonely castle of Adlerstein perched high on the rocks above a dangerous ford, is known as the eagle's eyrie. Here the twin barons are born and grow to manhood. The story tells of their love for each other, and of the separation of the brothers after the battle at the ford. How the feud between the rival barons is healed and a chapel of peace is built at the terrible ford, concludes one of the best known tales of Charlotte Yonge. Expressive illustrations by noted illustrator Marguerite de Angeli accompany the text.
