- General Fiction
The bishop had fled to Huy, taking with him his dissolute and fearful followers, but not ere his brief rule had thrown Liege into a state of unrestrained lawless ness. Thousands, ruined by his excesses, had forsaken their homes and now roamed the vast forest of Ar dennes, living the lives of outlaws and balking 'at no crime which desperate men and women may contrive. Companions of the Green Tent they called themselves, and woe to any traveller who fell within their clutches.
Of all these bands, one there was which was most dreaded. It ranged over the hills about Dinant, whence most of its members had come, pouncing upon any who were so uninformed as to choose that route through the forest, and warring with its neighbouring bands, though few of the latter had any chance in such meeting. Strange to say, the leader of this coterie of outlaws was said to be a woman calling herself Marcelle the Mad; yet, in truth, there was little of the woman show ing in the doings of her company. But above all other qualifications in a follower, she was held to rate hatred of the House of Burgundy, and certain it was that many a Burgundian disappeared into that part of the forest where she held sway, never to return.
Thus it was that at last the duke roused to action. Bitterly he railed at the Companions of the Green Tent; more bitterly he ranted against this Marcelle the Mad.

All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
