The Caged Lion

"The Caged Lion" by Charlotte M. Yonge is an account of the early life of King James I of Scotland and the time of his captivity under King Henry V of England. The story covers life in Medieval Scotland and England and the 100 years war in France. The lives of the different men who make up the court, from knights to monks, are compared and examined. Mysticism is also a large role of life in the Medieval ages and the decisions made at that time.
