The Drawbridge

As he left for a visit to his outlying districts, the

jealous baron warned his pretty vile: “Do not leave
the castle while I am gone, or I will punish you
severely when I return!” But as the hours passed,
the young baroness grew lonely, and despite her
husband's warning, she decided to visit her lover,
who lived in the countryside nearby. The castle
was situated on an island in a wide, fast-flowing
river. A drawbridge linked the island to the
mainland at the narrowest point in the river.
“Surely my husband will not return before me,” she thought, and ordered the
servant to lower the drawbridge and leave it down until she returned. After
spending several pleasant hours with her lover the baroness returned to the
drawbridge. Only to find it blocked by a gatekeeper wildly waving a long, cruel
knife. “Do not attempt to cross this bridge, Baroness, or I will have to kill you” he
cried. “The baron ordered me to do so.” Fearing for her life, the bareness returned
to her lover and asked him for help. “Our relationship is only a romantic one,” he
said. – “I will not help.” The bareness then sought out a boatman on the river,
explained her plight to him and asked him to take her across the river in his boat.
“I will do it but only if you can pay the fee of five marks.” “But I have no money
with me!” the baroness protested. “That is too bad. No money, no, ride,” the
boatmen said flatly. Her fear growing, the baroness ran crying to the home of a
friend and, after explaining her desperate situation begged for enough money to
pay the boatman his fee. “If you had not disobeyed your husband this would not
have happened,” the friend said. “I will give you no money.” With dawn
approaching and her last resource exhausted, the baroness returned to the bridge
in desperation, and waited to cross to the castle, and was slain by the gatekeeper.
