It takes a journey through two time spans showing the difference in civilizations and the importance of believing in yourself and keeping true to your dreams. “A Knight in Shining Armor” begins as a girl named Dougless Montgomery has taken a trip to visit the English Countryside with her boyfriend, Robert, and his daughter, Gloria. As the trip progresses she gets in a fight with her boyfriend and he abandons her in the foreign country with no money, or way of getting back to America. Being stranded at a church, she feels as if she is a failure, and leans on a nearby tomb stone crying out for her “Knight in Shining Armor.” Suddenly a man dressed in armor and carrying a sword appears on the scene. He is Nicholas Stafford, Earl of Thornwyke, who was executed on a charge of treason in 1564, but had somehow heard Dougless’s cries. He now found himself in the year of 1988, standing next to Dougless. Dougless takes him around the new time period teaching him of all her knowledge, and helping him to understand and discover this new world he has come to live
