Historical Romances: Under the Red Robe, Count Hannibal, A Gentleman of France
Produced by Charles Bowen, from page scans provided by the Web Archive
"Historical Romances: Under the Red Robe, Count Hannibal, A Gentleman of France" by Stanley J. Weyman is a collection of historical novels written in the late 19th century. The stories are set in the turbulent France of the 17th century, featuring themes of honor, dueling, and political intrigue. The central character of "Under the Red Robe" is Gil de Berault, a skilled swordsman with a reputation for getting into dangerous situations, who finds himself embroiled in a conflict that could have deadly consequences. The opening of "Under the Red Robe" introduces us to Gil de Berault, who is in a heated confrontation stemming from a card game that turns sour when an Englishman accuses him of cheating. This leads to a duel behind a church, where tensions rise as Berault grapples with the weight of his actions. He fights against the Englishman, but as the fight escalates, he hesitates to strike a lethal blow out of an unexpected remorse for his young opponent. The stakes grow higher as Berault is apprehended by the Cardinal's guards following the confrontation, setting the stage for a complex web of honor, legality, and personal redemption in a society ruled by both sword and state.
