“Great, because now I need you to find Richard’s crown,” said Hannah.

“His crown?” Violet repeated.

“You don’t think it was stolen, do you?” asked Henry, his voice concerned.

“No, it’s just a prop—not valuable at all. Richard is always losing things. He lost his cape earlier this week, and he’s had to use a replacement,” Hannah said. “He’s a bit of a slob.”

“We were in his tent last night,” said Jessie, nodding.

“So you know what I’m talking about,” Hannah said. “He’s in the main tent right now, having a cup of tea. I’m sure he won’t mind if you look in his tent.”

Mr. Worthington’s tent was still a complete mess, with piles of clothing everywhere.

“He really is a slob,” said Benny. “This room is even messier than mine!”

The others laughed, thinking of Benny’s messy bedroom.

“At least you don’t have hay all over,” said Henry, plucking a piece of hay off a chair.

“Hannah said he is always losing things—you don’t think he could have lost that sword and blamed it on Jonathan, do you?” Violet wondered.

“It’s possible,” Henry said.

The children set to work looking through the piles.

“Here’s the crown,” Henry said, picking it up from under a table where it had been left.

“Look at this,” said Violet, picking up a heavy book that had been buried underneath a chair. “It’s called The Knights of Old England, volume 1.”

“Cool!” said Henry.

“Can I see?” Benny asked.

The children gathered around Violet, who flipped slowly through the book. It was illustrated with colorful drawings of knights in armor. Violet noticed one marked with a small yellow sticker.

“Look, Mr. Worthington marked this page,” she told the others.

“I wonder why,” asked Jessie.

Violet scanned the page to see if there was anything unusual written there. Suddenly she gasped.

“What is it?” Henry asked.

“Maybe Richard was telling the truth,” she said. She sounded stunned.

“What do you mean?” asked Jessie.

Violet pointed to a picture of a knight carrying a black-and-white banner with an eagle on it. Then she read the caption below. “Historians believe this flag and emblem were carried by the Worthington family of northern England.” Violet looked up from the page. “Maybe one of Richard’s ancestors really was a knight.”
