Interesting tale, told in a sort of high fantasy faux medieval style, about the rise of the talented bastard son of an English noble. Lots of chivalry, high flown language, honor, passionate declarations and adventure. It is, however, such a sanitized version of the era (no mud, no torture, hardly any mention of illness or brutality) that for me it is either a boy's/young adult novel or an outright fantasy. But after a while I got into it and enjoyed it for what it was. It's quite dated, though, so I wouldn't recommend it to everyone.
