About the show

Esclarmonde, empress and sorceress of Byzantium, secretly meets Roland and gives him a magic sword to defend Blois, provided he remains faithful. After Roland reveals their meetings, monks tear away her veil and the sword shatters; she disappears. Her father later forces her to renounce Roland, but Roland wins a tournament in disguise, and they recognize each other and are acclaimed together.
