Pelayo: An Epic Of The Olden Moorish Time is a historical fiction novel written by Elizabeth T. Porter Beach. The book tells the story of Pelayo, a legendary hero who lived during the Moorish invasion of Spain in the 8th century. Pelayo was a Christian warrior who led the resistance against the Muslim conquerors and eventually became the first king of Asturias.The novel is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of Pelayo's life. The first part introduces Pelayo as a young boy growing up in the mountains of Asturias. He is raised by his grandfather, a wise old man who teaches him the ways of the land and the importance of faith. When the Muslims invade Asturias, Pelayo's family is killed and he becomes a slave. He eventually escapes and joins a group of rebels who are fighting against the invaders.In the second part of the book, Pelayo becomes a leader of the rebel forces and begins to win battles against the Muslims. He is aided by a group of loyal followers, including his love interest, a young woman named Florinda. Pelayo's victories inspire other Christians to join the fight and eventually, he is able to establish a stronghold in the mountains.The final part of the book focuses on Pelayo's reign as king of Asturias. He is a just ruler who is loved by his people, but he faces many challenges, including attacks from the Muslims and power struggles within his own court. Despite these challenges, Pelayo remains steadfast in his faith and his commitment to his people.Overall, Pelayo: An Epic Of The Olden Moorish Time is a gripping tale of heroism, faith, and perseverance. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Spain or the Christian-Muslim conflicts that shaped the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
