"The Wolfe of Badenoch: A Historical Romance of the Fourteenth Century" by Sir Thomas Dick Lauder is an early 19th-century historical romance set in Scotland during the late 1300s. The book explores the ideals of honor, love, and the struggles within society. It follows Sir Patrick Hepborne, a Scottish knight returning from war in France, as he becomes involved in adventures and possibly a romance with Lady Eleanore de Selby, the daughter of a lord. Beginning with Sir Patrick and his friend Sir John Assueton coming back to Scotland from battle, readers quickly learn of Sir Patrick’s respect for women when they meet a lady searching for her falcon. They then arrive at a village inn and hear about Lady Eleanore, hinting at love and conflict with her suitors, like Sir Rafe Piersie; this sets up a lively medieval scene and hints at the interconnected lives of the characters.
