The King and Queen arrange for a Norman Knight named, Giles, to enter into a marriage. Giles’s mistress tries to figure out a way not to lose Giles, so she gets him drunk and fills him with lies about Catherine before he is to meet to sign the agreement. Upon arrival the belligerent Knight began belittling Catherine in front of the King and wants no part of the contract unless she gives up her child. All the while not knowing the Queen and Catherine were listening. At this point Catherine is furious and would rather give up her land and the Keep than give up her child.
