It is the year 1190. Master Cuthbert, the son of a knight, is only 15, but he has proven his worth to the Earl of Evesham. When the Earl's daughter is kidnapped, Cuthbert organizes some outlaw serfs to stage a daring rescue. The Earl discovers that the Baron of Wortham is behind the kidnapping, and prepares an assault on Wortham Castle. Cuthbert's contacts with the outlaw serfs are instrumental to the success of the attack. So when the call comes for men to fight in the Holy Land, the Earl makes plans, and selects Cuthbert as his messenger. Cuthbert joins a group of 200 men-at-arms, and sets off to fight for King Richard in the third Crusade.
