The Custom of the Country

About the show

Zenocia marries Arnoldo against the advice of her father and flees the Italian governor Clodio, who claims a traditional sexual right over her. Separated during their escape, the couple face further coercion and intrigue in Lisbon before Clodio renounces his claim; a subplot follows Arnoldo's brother Rutilio through a duel, arrest, and marriage.
