About this eBook

Author Knowles, Mabel Winifred, 1875-1949
Title A Blot on the Scutcheon
Credits Produced by Al Haines
Summary "A Blot on the Scutcheon" by Mabel Winifred Knowles is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Michael Berrington, the sole heir to Berrington Manor, who is struggling to reconcile his identity as the son of a disgraced father—one who is labeled a traitor. The narrative explores themes of love, honour, and the heavy burden of familial legacy, particularly through the dynamics between Michael and his childhood sweetheart, Gabrielle Conyers, who is also entangled in the stigma of her family's past. The opening of the novel introduces the tensions surrounding Michael's inheritance and family history. We meet Michael at Berrington Manor, where his grandfather Sir Henry expresses disdain for him, deeming him an unsatisfactory heir. Amidst this familial discord, Michael seeks escape from his grandfather's scorn by climbing a wall only to meet young Gabrielle, who becomes an important figure in his life. Their innocent exchanges hint at a burgeoning romance that contrasts sharply with the shadows of their families' legacies. As Michael embarks on a series of adventures that intertwine with his father's past, readers are left to ponder the intersections of love and honour within a historical backdrop filled with societal expectation and personal struggle.
