Plantagenet 1 - The Plantagenet Prelude - Plot & Excerpts
She would never forgive him, she declared. He had abducted her. He had treated her to the utmost indignity. He had sent her old enemy, Galeran, to arrest her as though she were a common felon; and she had been forced to leave without saying farewell to her friends.What would they think of her? What would they think of Louis? She was humiliated and she hated the source of her humiliation.Those were unhappy months for Louis. She never ceased railing against him; she liked to taunt him with his performance both as lover and soldier.‘Go back to the Church,’ she would cry. ‘Go to a monk’s cell. But first free me so that I may marry a man who is a man.’She hoped that Raymond or Saladin would come against Louis and rescue her. But perhaps that was asking too much. It would make a beautiful ballad, but real life was not exactly like that. Raymond had his great plan to think of: making war on the Greeks. As for Saladin he would doubtless remain an infidel and the great opportunity to bring Islam peacefully to Christianity would be lost.She railed and stormed, but it was of no avail.
