No sooner than in English

Hey everyone!

My question is: do we have a structure, even if it’s archaic, buried to the depths of the abyss that is the English language such as ‘no sooner than...’ used just like ‘no sooner...than...’

I remember reading a sentence with this structure, possibly with a noun clause attached in the end, but I have no idea from where. It was something like below;

‘No sooner than had he learned both his parents were murdered that he decided to...’

I will be very happy if someone can help me with this.

Thanks a lot!
