Summary
Aliénor is the daughter of Gérard de Narbonne, a
distinguished doctor of medicine of the 14th Century. She puts
the skills she has inherited from her father to good use by curing the
king of France of a life-threatening fistula. By way of
recompense, she asks to marry Bertrand de Roussillon, whom she has
loved since childhood. Alas, Betrand has no love for
Aliénor, and rather than consummate the marriage he goes off to
fight in Tuscany...
