Chapter Summary Of The Book 'Came The Knight From The Drakenlands'
Chapter 3- Came the Knight from the Fjord
-THIS IS WHERE WE STOP! WE HAVE REACHED OUR DESTINATION… A tall man screamed to the rest of the people walking behind him. He spoke in the Fjiordian dialect, a rough language, which immediately led people to believe that those who spoke it were perhaps barbarians. The group of people was made up of children, women, men, slaves, freemen, warriors and nobles and all had just in the Dra left the Fjord territory for new settlements in the Drakenlands.
The reasons for their departure from the Fjords were diverse but the most obvious one was in the King’s need for brave men to defend his Kingdom against possible threats to the North. Fjiordians were reputed warriors, whose size and ability to surpass fear during combat had won them many battles in the past. Their only weakness was the lack of leadership within their ranks, as they all shared the same

For most Fjiordians this was an offer they could not refuse as it possibly meant more resources and prosperity for their people.
The man leading the 200 settlers was Ansgar Nielson, a tall, strong and handsome warrior, who had accepted to leave his homeland for the promise of a better life in the Drakenlands. At first sight, it was still difficult to define his true intentions, as he looked rather amused by the situation and even too decontracted, for someone who had just left everything behind him.
-If you carry on being that composed you will seduce many girls before knight fall, said Borje, Ansgar friend, and battle companion. He too was curious to know what the Drakenlands had to offer him and his people. He also hoped to serve at the King’s guard because it not only had a prestigious reputation but also for the gold that was given to each guard, at the end of a mission or after an overseas

    The Red King's Rebellion fought more than three hundred years ago between the Algonquian peoples and New England settlers was in per-capita terms the bloodiest war in our nation's history. Before the conflict ended, over 9,000 people were dead (two-thirds of them Native Americans), and homelessness, starvation, and economic hardship plagued the descendants of both races for generations to come. In this fascinating book, Russell Bourne examines the epic struggle from both sides, seeking to explain how the biracial harmony that once reigned--when the Plymouth Colony's neighboring Wampanoag’s, under the stately Massasoit (King…

    When Benvolio, Montague and Lady Montague have a conversation about Romeo they portray him as being very shy. ‘So early did I see your son, towards him I made but he was aware of me, and stole into the covert of the wood’.

To running away is an odd thing to do to anyone, but this was someone who has been presented as a close Cousin/friend. Due to the fact that Benvolio is worried about how Romeo is, we can tell that Romeo is not usually an anti-social person. This is an obvious clue to the fact that he is distracted and upset by something on his mind.…
