Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Sweet and Touching Tale of Fleur & Blanchefleur" by Mrs. Leighton is a medieval legend translated from French and published in the early 20th century. The narrative is a poignant story of love and devotion that follows the intertwined fates of two children—Fleur, the son of a heathen king, and Blanchefleur, the daughter of a Christian captive—who experience trials and tribulations as they grow up together and ultimately strive to reunite despite the forces that seek to keep them apart. The tale begins with King Fenis of Spain and his fierce conquest that leads to the capture of a Christian lady, the mother of Blanchefleur. The bond between Fleur and Blanchefleur blossoms as they are raised together, only to be thwarted by the king's plans to separate them. When Blanchefleur is sold into faraway lands, Fleur, in a desperate quest fueled by love, embarks on a journey to find her. After facing numerous obstacles, including a powerful admiral who seeks to make Blanchefleur his bride, Fleur’s determination leads to a series of compelling events that culminate in the lovers being brought back together. The narrative unfolds themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the transformative power of love, ultimately leading to the union of Fleur and Blanchefleur in both marriage and faith.
