This was a good story, though it did drag a bit at times, and it got frustrating when Bess and Griffith had to spend so much time apart, especially when she considered taking the veil when it appeared they'd be denied permission to wed. (Politics and protocol in Henry VIII'S court can be a royal pain.) Lucky for the couple, a kindly old baron is on their side.
Though I can't say it's on my list of favorites, it's still a good story and worth checking out.

Romance medieval bem água-com-açúcar.
A história me lembra algum filme de sessão da tarde com a jovem donzela se apaixonado por um galante cavaleiro que se fere durante uma justa. Some um tutor ganancioso e um casamento as escondidas e já temos a trama da maioria dos filmes de cavaleiro já produzidos...
Não me leve a mal, não é ruim. Pode ser um pouco arrastado em algumas partes, mas vai agradar aqueles que nunca leram algo do tipo, com certeza.
