| Summary | "Rowena & Harold" by William Stephen Pryer is a romance in rhyme set in the medieval period, likely written during the late 19th century. The book explores themes of love, loyalty, and the challenges faced by its characters in a historical backdrop of feudal conflicts. It tells the story of Rowena, a lovely maiden caught in a web of familial expectation and romantic aspirations, and Harold, a noble knight who must navigate treacherous waters to prove his worth and secure their love. The narrative follows the tumultuous journey of Rowena and Harold amid familial strife and societal pressure. Rowena's father, Sir Guy de Warre, seeks to marry her to a wealthy suitor, ignoring her love for Harold. As Harold embarks on a quest to gain honor in battle so he may rightfully claim Rowena's hand, he faces trials in the Holy Land, including being saved by a Saracen maiden named Ruth, whose kindness contrasts with Rowena's turbulent fate back home. The story weaves through themes of sacrifice, bravery, and reconciliation, culminating in a resolution that reunites the lovers as well as their estranged parent, emphasizing the redemptive power of love and forgiveness.
