Summary "Masters of the Guild" by Louise Lamprey is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story transports readers to a richly depicted medieval world, focusing on the lives and crafts of various characters, particularly the troubadour Ranulph and young Peirol, who loves pigeons. As festivities unfold in Count Thibaut's castle, the narrative explores themes of art, community, and the interplay of personal relationships in the backdrop of grand events. The opening of "Masters of the Guild" introduces us to a lively atmosphere in Count Thibaut's castle as he returns from England with his daughter, Lady Philippa. The troubadour Ranulph takes a moment in the garden to refine his song, and he encounters Peirol, a small boy devoted to training pigeons—an element that hints at camaraderie and childhood innocence amid the adult preoccupations of feasting and festivities. The narrative quickly builds tension as we learn that among the gathered guests is Sir Gualtier Giffard, whose backstory of fallen fortunes starts to anchor the tale in deeper themes of aspiration and conflict, hinting at the complexities of love and loyalty that will unfold throughout the narrative.
