inhabitants by accepting Prince
Hlldred, and the latter, upon contemptuous refusal once more, traps Princess Monica into taking an oath before the Bishop that she "will marry any man of rank equal to her own, except Hildred, provided that such contract shall terminate the war." But, to her dismay, instead of uniting her with Olaf, Prince Hildred forces upon her the hunchbacked Michael, who also is heart and soul in love with her and who is determined to take advantage of Monica's vow. Michael ignores the pleas of his brother Prince Olaf to release Monica from her vow. Olaf uses his influence with the army to seize and kidnap Michael in order to prevent the marriage. However, Hildred and his forces rescue Michael and take him to the wedding ceremony at the Cathedral in Illyria. It is only at the last minute during the wedding ceremony that Michael himself saved the situation when he declared "I will not" instead of "I will", thus ending the third act.

make sure that the hatred of her schoolgirl days for Prince
Hildred still exists, and in that way tells his fortune, and that of his half-brothers, the crippled Prince Michael and the handsome Prince Olaf, over the mess-table of the Royal Guard. In this scene the audacious gipsy falls in love with Olaf, and, leading him to a polished breast-plate, bids him see there the face of the man who stands at tho open door of the Princess Monica's heart. Suddenly, Prince Hildred divines her identity and orders her arrest as a spy, but the flashing sword of Olaf is between her and the reigning prince, and he escorts her from the castle.

The battlements of the Palace, with a beautiful view of the Bay of Illyria, and the banqueting hair at the Castle of Wellenberg, with stately windows occupyied the full width of a noble interior, and won the applause of the crowded house.

Monica is a
Princess of Illyria. Her small State is under attack from Prince Hildred of Sylvania, the nominal dispute being a contested strip of territory, but the real reason is her refusal to become his bride. Monica, disguised as a beggar maid, visits the enemy's castle of Wellenberg, in order to

During Act Four
Hildred is disposed of by being dropped over the battlements of Illyria onto the streets below by Nathan, a dumb retainer of Michael, avenging the horse-whipping of his master. The subplot is resolved when Camiola, the beggar maid, disguised as a beggar boy, has watched over the
