"Men of Iron" by Howard Pyle is a historical fiction story that follows young Myles Falworth as he grows up in the dangerous times of 15th-century England. The story is set after King Richard II's removal from power when things were very unstable, and explores politics, betrayal, and one's own growth. Myles is the son of a nobleman who lost favor with the new king, Henry IV. We see how the events of that time affected Myles's family, forcing him to grow up in a simpler home, focusing his life on becoming a knight. Readers follow him as he trains and tries to understand the expectations and importance of chivalry and the complex politics of court. Myles must learn to navigate fights, courtly life, and the search for his own honor.
