Plot Summary

In 1465, Quentin Durward travels to France to meet Isabelle, Countess of Marcroy, on behalf of his elderly Scottish uncle whom, for political reasons, the Duke of Burgundy intends she marry. A man of honor who may have sworn too many oaths, Durward finds he and Isabelle being used as pawns in a deadly game by the Duke and devious King Louis XI. One look at Isabelle has convinced Durward this is where he and his heart have to be. Written by Jeremy Perkins {J-26}

Goofs The seat on which King Louis XI (Robert Morley) sits in his throne room is not a Gothic throne in 14th Century style, it's a gilt chair in the Rococo style of the late 17th/early 18th Century. See more »
