Princess Rosamund was walking by the lake when they came for
her. The punding clang of men running in armour, the slang of swords...
and where were her bodyguard? Terrified, she took to her heels and ran
and ran, losing her beautiful shoes as she went...
Welcome to the first part of Ariel Anderssen's Medieval Epic. This is
the second of the long videos we shot
on location in France in Autumn last year. This one was written and
directed by Ariel, with Sammie B, Hywel and Kate all mucking in with
camerawork as well as acting. It was great fun to shoot, we hope you
enjoy it!
Princess Rosamund is bound and dragged, kicking and screaming,
to the fortified manor of the strange
knight who has captured her. He thrusts her down onto the floor by the
stone fireplace, next to another girl...
and the two are shocked to be re-united! It is Countess Eleanor,
missing these eighteen months. Has she been kept here all this time?
What have the Knight and his cruel wife done to her? And what devilish
plans do they have in store for Princess Rosamund?
Eleanor had warned her about "his wife". They didn't even know
her name! How bad could she be, though?
Surely another woman couldn't be as much of a brute as that knight
who had kidnapped her and dragged her
here to his fortified manor house? Surely she would understand that
Rosamund was a princess, and even a
captive princess ought to be treated with the respect due her station?
