Enguerrande
In Palermo, Prince Gaëtan refuses the crown and the marriage proposed by Princess Enguerrande, though both are drawn to one another. After meeting in disguise and uncovering their identities, Enguerrande becomes queen and holds Gaëtan prisoner; persuaded to accept the throne to secure a pardon for Noéma’s exiled father, he signs, then flees with Enguerrande. When an enemy invasion threatens Palermo, Gaëtan returns to fight, but is mortally wounded and dies in Enguerrande’s arms; she dies beside him.
