A Musical Romance: Angelique, The Marquise of the Angels

Angelique is the daughter of an impoverished noble from Monteloup, in the mid-west area of France. The story begins in her youth, around the year 1650. Angelique is indifferent about her appearance and is a strong minded girl. She loves to run through the woods and fields barefooted. Her boyfriend, Nicolas, is a shepherd.

Philippe is a handsome marquis, the son of the feudal Lord du Plessis, whose domain is some distance from Monteloup. Angelique is always with the fun-loving Nicolas but she longs for Philippe's cool beauty and his splendid palace. Philippe, however, considers her poor family beneath him.

One day Angelique is attacked by five thieves in the woods. A troubadour appears from nowhere and rescues her, and then just as suddenly disappears. As time passes she almost forgets the incident.

For three years she studies in a convent, as was the custom for the daughters of noble families.

When a marriage is arranged for her with the wealthy Count Joffrey de Peyrac, of Toulouse, in the south of France, she returns to her hometown. Angelique is unhappy at the prospects of marrying a strict man twelve years her senior but because of her father's financial plight she consents. Angelique decides that the count will have only her body and never win her heart.

Before her wedding day, Nicolas tells Angelique goodbye and returns home to Paris with a broken heart.

When Angelique meets her fiance in Toulouse he seems much like the mysterious troubadour who once saved her from danger. She boldly tells him that marriage without love is no good and generously the count agrees with her. At first Angelique finds Joffrey unattractive. He has a scar on his face and he drags one leg due to injuries suffered during religious wars when he was young. But gradually she sees his strengths as a cultured gentleman. Joffrey has various interesting hobbies. He is well-liked by everyone. His singing voice is said to be the best in the kingdom.

As Angelique grows fonder of Joffrey she realizes there are many ladies who are in love with him. One of these ladies, Carmencita, is from the Spanish royal family; she came to France to marry, but has fallen in love with Joffrey. One day Angelique accidentally sees the dynamic Carmencita confessing her love to Joffrey. This scene arouses such jealousy that Angelique realizes she really does love Joffrey and eagerly consents to their marriage.
