Summary "The Armourer's Prentices" by Charlotte M. Yonge is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The story centers around two young orphans, Stephen and Ambrose Birkenholt, who leave their home in the New Forest to seek their fortunes in London during the tumultuous years of Henry the Eighth's reign. As the boys navigate their new lives, they encounter notable figures from the pre-Reformation period, yielding insights into the social and religious unrest of the time. The beginning of the story introduces Stephen and Ambrose as they come to terms with their father's death and their changed circumstances, facing dismissal from their family home due to the harshness of their step-sister-in-law. After poignant reflections on their past and the loss of their beloved dog, Spring, the brothers make a pivotal decision to travel to London, where they hope to find their Uncle Hal. The opening sequences depict their emotional struggles, the tensions within their family, and a rescue sequence that highlights their bravery. It sets the stage for their adventures in London, exploring themes of loyalty, ambition, and the transition from childhood to adulthood against the backdrop of a rich historical context.
