Our English hero, Philip Fletcher, has a French connection on his mother's side. This encourages him to cross the Channel in order to take part in the Huguenot wars. Obviously he sides with the Protestants, distinguishes himself in various battles, and receives a swift promotion for his enthusiasm.
