The White Company

The White Company is a motley group of English mercenaries, led by Sir Nigel Loring whose youthful adventures were first recounted in Sir Nigel. With assiduous attention to historical detail, Conan Doyle paints a convincing picture of 14th-century life and manners. The White Company, bound by an unquestioning respect for social order, patriotism and lust for adventure, makes its way to France to fight in local wars.
