Plot

To bring to an end a protracted war between the Sires of San Miniato and Vincigliata a marriage is arranged between their children Jacopo and Beatrice. One night however the bejewelled and beautiful Beatrice is distracted from the tender words of her betrothed by the serenade of a young troubadour beneath her window. When the Sire of Vincigliata discovers that his daughter has fallen in love with the troubadour he has him put into prison and condemned to death by hanging. Beatrice bribes the prison guard to allow her beloved to escape. She waits for him in a boat and, although the alarm is sounded, they break free from their pursuers and head for the open sea. Her father is overwhelmed when he hears of the elopement and dies of a stroke.[1][2]
