Knight of the Tavern

Crispin Galliard has lost everything – hostile neighbours murdered his family and seized his estate. Since then, the knight has been drowning his sorrows in countless taverns. All the while, he constantly thinks of revenge and returning home. Years later, he returns to his former castle under a different name. Those who destroyed his life do not recognise him – and Galliard can begin his dangerous game. However, his plan is complicated by the charming daughter of one of the murderers. This adventurous story is filled with dramatic prison escapes, duels, and cunning schemes. The plot unfolds against the backdrop of the civil war of 1651, when the supporters of King Charles II clashed with Oliver Cromwell's troops.
