Summary "The Geste of Duke Jocelyn" by Jeffery Farnol is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a medieval setting filled with knights, quests, and romance, centering on the character Duke Jocelyn, an "ugly" yet noble figure who embarks on a journey to win the heart of the beautiful Yolande. The narrative introduces elements of humor, adventure, and the trials of love amidst the backdrop of whimsical medieval society. The opening portion of the novel presents a charming and whimsical narrative style, beginning with a playful dialogue between Duke Jocelyn and his daughter, Gillian. Jocelyn's character is established as a nobleman who, despite his physical scars from a boar attack, seeks to prove that true beauty lies within. This leads to his decision to disguise himself as a jester to approach the lady he loves without the prejudice associated with his disfigurement. Alongside his companion, Sir Pertinax, Duke Jocelyn embarks on a lighthearted adventure, engaging in witty banter and encounters with various characters, including an outlaw and a group of townsfolk, while laying the groundwork for the romantic and heroic escapades to follow.
