The Knight Errant (1911)

Lady Ettarre, tiring of her young daughter, bargains with the gate-keeper of the castle, who leaves it outside the hut of a charcoal burner. Fifteen years later, instead of having a pleasant life, she is worked hard and mistreated. The Knight Errant while riding through the forest is attracted by her pleadings for mercy. Ybetta (her name now) is rescued by this stately person, and taken to his home. Ybetta is now disguised as a page. In their trip around the world, they come upon Lady Ettarre and her attendant, who are being attacked by brigands. In the struggle that ensues, the Knight is wounded, but is cared for by Lady Ettarre in her castle. Ybetta is discovered to be a girl, and is sent away to be taken care of by Black John. Lady Ettarre asks for a token of remembrance. He gives her the little cross that Ybetta gave him when he rescued her. She recognizes the token, and recounts the disposal of the page. The Knight kills Black John. Lady Ettarre and the Knight are now living happily together.
