The DrawbridgeAs he left for a visit to his outlying districts, the jealous Baron warned his pretty wife: ‘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. Despite the Baron’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 the Baron will not return before dawn,” she thought, and ordered her servants 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,” the Gatekeeper cried. “The Baron ordered me to do so.”Fearing for her life, the Baroness returned to her Lover and asked for help. “Our relationship is only a romantic one,” the Lover said. “I will not help.”The Baroness then sought out a Boat Captain on the river, explaining her plight to them, and asked them to take her across the river in their boat. “I will do it, but only if you can pay my fee of five marks,” they responded. “But I have no money with me,” the Baroness protested. “That is too bad. No money, no ride,” the Boat Captain said flatly.Her fear growing, the Baroness ran crying to a Friend’s home and, after explaining her desperate situation, begged for enough money to pay the Boat Captain their fee. “If you had not disobeyed the Baron, 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 drawbridge in desperation, attempted to cross to the castle, and was slain by the Gatekeeper.
