Chivalry
by Rafael Sabatini
A novel full of living characters and the clash of swords, set in the picturesque fifteenth century. At the age of twenty-eight, Colombino became one of the greatest mercenary captains of that time, his fame spreading throughout the length and breadth of Italy. However, despite the fact that fortune was military, Colombino, who lived on the bloody threshold of the Renaissance, depicted his life in the Age of Knighthood. Perhaps for this reason he led the Pigeon Company against Verona to the service of that beautiful and dangerous woman, Countess Euphemia Rovieto. Armed for Lord Honorato and his daughter the just Samaritan, Colombino defeated the Venetian armies and fell in love with the Samaritan, who was already secretly busy.
