The Armourer's Prentices is a historical fiction novel written by Charlotte M. Yonge. The story is set in the 16th century and follows the lives of two young boys, Anthony and Francis, who become apprentices to an armourer in London. The boys come from very different backgrounds: Anthony is the son of a wealthy merchant, while Francis is an orphan who has been taken in by a kind-hearted widow.As the boys begin their apprenticeships, they are introduced to the world of armor-making and the political and social issues of the time. They become embroiled in a plot to overthrow Queen Mary I and put Lady Jane Grey on the throne. Along the way, they encounter characters such as the Duke of Northumberland, Sir Thomas Wyatt, and the infamous Bloody Mary.The novel explores themes of loyalty, friendship, and the struggle between religious factions in 16th century England. It also provides a vivid depiction of life in London during this time period, including the bustling markets, the harsh living conditions of the poor, and the opulence of the wealthy.Overall, The Armourer's Prentices is a captivating and informative historical fiction novel that will transport readers back in time to the tumultuous world of 16th century England.Stephen was weeping by this time, and his uncle had a hand on his shoulder, and with tears in his eyes, threw in ejaculations of pity and affection. Ambrose finished the narrative with a broken voice indeed, but as one who had more self-command than his brother, perhaps than his uncle, whose exclamations became bitter and angry as he heard of the treatment the boys had experienced from their half-brother, who, as he said, he had always known as a currish mean-spirited churl, but scarce such as this.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
