The White Company
The White Company is a historical adventure by Arthur Conan Doyle set during the Hundred Year's War. The story is set in England, France, and Spain, in the years 1366 and 1367, against the background of the campaign of Edward, the Black Prince to restore Peter of Castile to the throne of the Kingdom of Castile. The climax of the book occurs before the Battle of Nájera. Doyle became inspired to write the novel after attending a lecture on the Middle Ages in 1889. After extensive research, The White Company was published in serialized form in 1891 in Cornhill Magazine. Additionally, the book is considered a companion to Doyle's later work Sir Nigel, which explores the early campaigns of Sir Nigel Loring and Samkin Aylward.

Reviews
Best thing I’ve read this year
By DougDalton
This turned out to be as good a medieval romance as ever Scott wrote. If you are expecting Victorian England this isn't the book for you. But for me I loved Ivanhoe so I found this to be quite a treat.

Not Sherlock Holmes and an excellent story of Knights and chivalry. The writing is long on description and a little short on plot, and the end come pretty abruptly, and I would recommend it to anyone who thinks that Conan Doyle only wrote the Holmes mysteries.
