By the end of Luke the Warrior, Martin has become the spiritual center of the texts, and his spirit returns to guide the Redwallers in times of danger. In addition, Jacques makes use of Arthurian legend to set Martin apart from the other warriors and woodlanders in the texts Martin the Warrior and. Instead, the Redwallers follow the call of Martin the Warrior, Redwall Abbey’s, patron and founder. To present this in his series, Jacques's use of Medieval religion is superficial because his characters do not recognize the Christian God. English moral was down due to the devastation of World War Two and religious ideals were facing rebuke by the rising notions of secularism. Brian Jacques, the author of the popular children’s series Redwall, uses many aspects of the Medieval Era such as prophecies, glory, and battle, and visions or dreams to effectively spin a good yarn while commenting on the religious development of England in the late twentieth century. This use of the Medieval Era is known as medievalism, where authors can explore contemporary issues by comparing them to the past (Bradford 3). Children’s fantasy series have been set in the Medieval Era, a way to explore contemporary themes.
