The scene takes place at Rupelmonde Castle in 1433 during the tumultuous Middle Ages. Jacqueline's desperation and determination are palpable as she kneels before an unseen authority figure, begging for mercy. Her eyes are filled with anguish and her hands clasped together in supplication. She is willing to do whatever it takes to save her husband from his impending fate.
