Cedric the Forester

Cedric, son of a twelfth-century forester in Pelham Wood, saves the life of Sir Richard Mountjoy's son and is made his squire. Taught to read and fight, Cedric becomes the best crossbowman in England and excels in  both Latin and military strategy. At the Battle of Eagles, he is knighted. Now that King Richard The Lionheart is dead can Cedric help Sir Richard in the battle to get the new King John to sign the Magna Carta  and grant common rights for all men?
