This narrative unfolds during the tumultuous era of King Henry VIII, coinciding with the Pilgrimage of Grace. It depicts the period of King Henry's rebellion against Pope Clement VII and the widespread dissent among Englishmen and clergy in the north. To finance this uprising, the Spanish abbot Clement Maldon resorts to murder, targeting Cicely Foterell's father with the intent of claiming the family's estates and treasures.
