Book Overview
The Combat of the Thirty is a historical fiction book written by William Harrison Ainsworth and first published in 1859. The story is based on a true event that took place in the fourteenth century in Brittany, France. The book tells the story of a group of knights who engage in a combat known as the Combat of the Thirty. The combat was a battle between thirty English knights and thirty Breton knights, fought over a dispute between two rival factions. The book is written in the style of a Breton lay, which is a form of medieval French poetry. Ainsworth's version of the story is a romanticized retelling of the events, with a focus on the chivalry and bravery of the knights involved. The book is considered a classic of historical fiction and is praised for its vivid descriptions of medieval life and warfare.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
