Description
Edmond, who belongs to the camp of rebels against King Charles Ier, led by Cromwell, has fallen in love with Anna Grenwil, who comes from a family that supports the king to the contrary. Taken prisoner by chance in the castle of the woman he loves, he hesitates for a long time about what to do: should he flee to join his father? or stay for love?
One evening, he decides to escape over the wall, but as he hangs from a shrub, Anna catches sight of him and faints. Edmond gives up and returns.
