The Prince Valiant stories are set during the reign of King Arthur. This time period corresponds with the end of Roman rule in Britain and the beginning of the Dark Ages. The very first part of the book is about the jousting circuit that takes place after the Fall crops are harvested. The last stories deal with the jousting season that begins in the Spring and whose purpose is to prepare King Arthur's knights for their Summer campaign against the Saxons. It is interesting to see Hal Foster's take on jousting. Most of the details appear to be out of the high Middle Ages but they nevertheless fit in well in these stories that are set in the Dark Ages. As usual, the plot lines and illustrations are of the highest quality.
