Godefroy the Cruel

By Opaline Allandet

This is an entirely fictional story, but written in a real historical background (the Middle Ages). In 1189, Godefroy of Lanicey, leader of a Burgundian stronghold, left for the Third Crusade in the Middle East, leaving his wife and two children.

When everyone thought him dead, he reappears four years later in his fortress... but another lord had replaced him. Of a ruthless character, he punishes his wife  in a despicable way, then attacks his children. His cruelty generates a void around him, for he can not help himself eliminate the women he loves... Despotic and vindictive, his vengeance towards his own will know no bounds.
