The White Lady of Hazelwood: A Tale of the Fourteenth Century

"The White Lady of Hazelwood: A Tale of the Fourteenth Century" by Emily Sarah Holt is a story placed in the 1300s that follows the Countess of Montfort, also called the "White Lady," as she faces difficulties and gives up everything while standing up for her son's power. It shows the complicated social life and culture of medieval England, beginning in 1372 London at Master Robert Altham's patty shop, where we meet his daughters and Clement Winkfield, who are excited about a tournament. When Amphillis Neville's mother dies, she becomes a maid for the mysterious Lady Foljambe, starting a trip of growth under the sad shadow of the countess's story.
