Really nice historical novel… written in old english

Such fun! I loved the French-Italian painter with a bias against Englishmen. Peak dialogue. Ford and Alleyne’s banter over the painter’s painting/daughter. Perspectives bounce between the Comp. and the prince’s diverse entourage as a tourney begins. Jousting, combat, honor, and politics. Sam’s telling tales. Sir Nigel succeeds at the list! But wait!? Who is this mysterious knight? A Frenchman!
Ally or enemy?

Some court politics. I’ll admit that I was a bit lost with the dialogue. The prince seems an admirable fellow, willing to lay down payment for what he perceives to be righteous causes. (Do I sense that he wants credibility? I can’t pin the age/goal of the guy.)
Oh! And Alleyne stands up for himself against a teasing & bulky brute. Most amusing. ‘Twas was an insult he took personally! I love how that played out.
