The long roll call of names and the truncated legacies that were left behind is filled with these lost talents. 
In this volume we gather together those men who, with the touch of a Royal sword, are elevated from mere men to a distinction and elite class that nothing else can offer.  Their talents as poets too are also beyond the ability of almost all other men.
