In medieval England, young James dreams of becoming a knight like his father. To earn his golden spurs, he must endure fourteen years of rigorous training as a page and squire. Will his determination and courage see him through the challenges of riding, hunting, and fighting? Follow James's transformative journey from a hopeful boy to a noble knight, as he navigates the trials of medieval life and discovers what it truly means to be brave.
