Synopsis: The Florentine King would see his son wed Securing his heir and throne from within, But Prince Valentino, is still in bed, With his mistress, lover, with vice and sin. So threats of exile upon the Prince come, 'Be married or gone within three short days'. But this foolish King hath himself undone; His brother's lust for power set ablaze; Don Grenaldo turns nemesis to all, Upon the throne of Florence is he fixed. So one by one the Kingdom starts to fall, Till none can stand, nor none can come betwixt; Unless our once reluctant hero-prince, May of his Kingly right himself convince.

Synopsis: Our hero, William, heaven he hath met, Enchanted, wooed, and promised to invest. His Angel? Anne, the fairest maid e'er seen, Who doth requite him true with deep desire; And would be swiftly crowned as William's Queen, If fortune, to itself, should so conspire. Alas, the path of true love ne'er ran true, And Anne's fair hand becomes Lord Edmund's chase. To have her for himself he will subdue All people; how he lusts for her embrace! Then who shall win the day, the truth or law; Shall Anne be William's love, or Edmund's whore?!
