When the Corporal had finished reading the Royal Proclamation, one or two of them sighed in a desultory fashion, others murmured casually, "Lordy! Lordy! to think on it! Dearie me!" The young ones neither sighed nor murmured. They looked at one another furtively, then glanced away again, as if afraid to read each other's thoughts, and in a shamefaced manner wiped their moist hands against their rough cord breeches. There were no women present fortunately: there had been heavy rains on the Moor these last three days, and what roads there were had become well-nigh impassable. Only a few men-some half-dozen perhaps-out of the lonely homesteads from down Brassington way, had tramped in the wake of the little squad of soldiers, in order to hear this Act of Parliament read at the cross-roads, and to see the document duly pinned to the old gallowstree. Fortunately the rain had ceased momentarily, only a cool, brisk nor'-wester came blustering across the Heath, making the older men shiver beneath their thin, well-worn smocks. North and south, east and west, Brassing Moor stretched its mournful lengths to the distant framework of the Peak far away, with mile upon mile of grey-green gorse and golden bracken and long shoots of purple-stemmed bramble, and here and there patches of vivid mauve, where the heather was just bursting into bloom; or anon a clump of dark firs, with ruddy trunks and gaunt arms stretched menacingly over the sparse young life below.

This is a historical novel set in England during the reign of King George II. The novel focuses on the title character, who is similar to Robin Hood, and Philip James Gascoyne, the eleventh Earl of Stretton. Soldiers loyal to King George are searching for those alleged of high treason and are offering a twenty-guinea reward for the death of any traitor or rebel. Philip James Gascoyne has been a fugitive for months after being falsely accused of being a traitor to the King by Sir Humphrey Challoner. John Stitch, the local blacksmith, offers Philip shelter. John Stich also has a friendship with the infamous Beau Brocade, a hooded highwayman who roams the moors holding up coaches to steal from the rich and give to the poor. Beau Brocade is tasked with delivering a letter to Philip's sister, to clear him of being a traitor. Will Beau Brocade succeed in delivering the letter? Will Philip's sister succeed in clearing his name? What happens to Beau Brocade if he is caught?

Philip Gascoyne is in hiding, in fear for his life after being wrongly accused by Sir Humphrey Challoner of being a traitor to the King. He has been given shelter and a cover by honest John Stitch, the local blacksmith.
