Question
This woman’s story is the likely basis for a lai (“lay”) about twin girls named “the hazel tree” and “the ash tree,” Marie de France’s “Le Fresne” (“luh fren”). This woman’s husband realizes he has nearly committed incest with Isabelle in a play by Louise-Geneviève Gillot de Saintonge (“loo-EEZ zhun-v’YEV zhee-LOH duh sant-ONZH”). Lady Rectitude uses this character as her last example of a daughter’s love for her parents. In one telling, this character declares “I left my father’s house completely (*) naked and I will return there completely naked,” but asks for a “single slip” to cover her womb. The Book of the City of Ladies frames this character’s story as one about the “Marquise of Saluces” (“sah-LOOSS”), gender-flipping another work’s introduction “I want to tell you about a Marquis.” In one telling, this woman is forced to help prepare for her ex-husband’s wedding to a daughter of the Count of Panago. For 10 points, Dioneo warns listeners not to imitate Gualtieri in a story from the Decameron about what legendarily patient woman? ■END■
