| Notes: | Thomas of Hookton, a young archer joins the forces of King Edward III to fight against France in the mid-14th century at the beginning of the Hundred Years War. Thomas, a brilliant, handsome warrior who combines physical strength and skill with the bow, survives the pillaging of his village to become an archer and then rescues a female counterpart known as the Blackbird from the clutches of Sir Simon Jekyll during one of the troop's raids in France. Thomas' journey soon becomes a quest for the Holy Grail. |
