At the age of nine Fernando Fadrique, a servant's son, witnesses the battle of Alarcos in 1195 and meets two very important men—King Alfonso VIII and Rodrigo de Coca, who allows Fernando to be his page. In the years that follow, Fernando accompanies the men and saves the king's life three times. Despite his passion for adventure and exploration, Fernando's true wish is to ask for the hand of Inés, a beautiful noblewoman whose high standing puts her far out of Fernando's reach.
Fernando Fadrique, hijo de un siervo de la gleba, asiste a la derrota de Alarcos, cuando tan sólo tiene nueve años. En el campo de batalla conoce al rey Alfonso VIII y don Rodrigo de Coca, que le acoge como paje. En los años siguientes, el carácter enérgico y decidido de Fernando salvará la vida del rey en tres ocasiones. Pero su gran deseo es conseguir la mano de Inés de Talavera, una doncella de cuna noble con la que no puede casarse dado su origen humilde.- Available now
