Gillette de Narbonne

About the show

Gillette, adopted by Count Roger’s family, loves Roger, who refuses to marry her. She cures King René, who promises her any reward; she asks to marry Roger. Roger leaves for war after their wedding without consummating it, setting conditions for acknowledging her as wife. Disguised as her twin brother, Gillette later takes another woman’s place and consummates the marriage with Roger, leaving him her ring. Ten months later, she has a son. Roger returns and fears another man fathered the child; Gillette shows him the ring, and he accepts her as his wife.
