This historical story is set in 1573, during William of Orange's rebellion against Spanish rule of the Netherlands, and includes some historical figures. The hero, a young Englishman, has served briefly under Alva before departing to join the fortunes of William the Silent. The plot revolves around his seeking an audience with Alva, making a deal to deliver up the town of Breuth in exchange for a certain sum of money, and bringing back with him the daughter of the town's governor, who had just been captured by the Spaniards and was in Alva's camp. The burden of the story is how he deceives the Spaniards, slaughters them, uses the money to feed his starving soldiers, joins William, and finally marries the Governor's daughter.

Excerpt from My Lady of Orange A moment later I was standing in an inner room, fronting the man who had set himself alone to meet the power of Spain, the man who held out still though all his country lay in the hollow of Alva's hand. In truth, William of Nassau was a man. He sat there behind a table, with a fellow at his elbow who eyed me askance as I entered, and whispered low in his master's ear. The Prince did not answer; his steady dark eyes sought mine, and he sat with his fingers drumming on the table watching me.
