Beautiful Christiana is the demure hand maiden to the Lady Jocelyn, a prominent beauty and the center of love tension in the rivalry between the ruthless count Adhemar of Anjou, who would count her as just one more trophy in his possession, and fraudulent (would be) knight, the commoner squire William Thatcher acting (with a crew of assistants) as Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein, of Gelderland.Arguably of equal beauty, Christiana serves as a supporting character enabling the film to disclose the mind of her mistress Lady Jocelyn, and as an intermediary running messages between her and Sir Ulrich and his party.
