Sir Nigel

Sir Nigel is a historical novel set during the Hundred Years‘ War, by the British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Written in 1906, it is a fore-runner to Doyle’s earlier novel The White Company, and describes the early life of that book’s hero Sir Nigel Loring in the service of King Edward III at the start of the Hundred Years‘ War.Dame History is so austere a lady that if one has been so ill-advised as to take a liberty with her one should hasten to make amends by repentance and confession. Events have been transposed to the extent of some few months in this narrative in order to preserve the continuity and evenness of the story. . .
