Armida
Princess Armida is sent to sow discord in the Frankish camp, but falls in love with the crusader Rinald and escapes with him. The sorcerer Ismen attempts to destroy her enchanted palace, while Rinald's companions use a diamond shield to draw him away; later, as the Crusaders advance on Damascus, Rinald kills Armida in battle without recognizing her until after she is mortally wounded.
