OK. That jump-started my brain. Costain wrote
The Black Rose.
Excellent book, I read it when I was a kid - encouraged to do so by my dad.
Robert Louis Stevenson wrote,
The Black Arrow.
I don't remember reading that one, but it's also set in the WotR.
[Edit: More
's. Looking back at my first post, I see I did say
The Black Arrow, but I was actually thinking about
The Black Rose when I wrote it. Is that clear now?]
