ABSTRACT

The duke of Montanikluse traveled home with his troops and did not intend to return to Sabins because he feared that he would be slain if it became known that he had taken the life of the noble knight When he arrived at the castle, his sister went to meet him, received him fondly, and inquired how he had fared. “God’s wrath be upon you, sister!” he exclaimed. ‘Tell me, why are you always asking about matters that don’t concern you? You would do well to stay with your women: we men are able to take care of our affairs.”
