Bardelys takes his papers and assumes his identity, only to find that Lesperon is a traitor to the king.Bardelys, as Lesperon, encounters the king's soldiers who are hunting Lesperon, fights them, and escapes, badly wounded, to the castle of Lavedan. Roxalanne hides him from the king's soldiers and tends to his wounds. She nurses him to health and pledges her love, but when the guilt-ridden Bardelys refuses to marry her, and in the belief that he is betrothed to another lady, she angrily turns him over to the king's men. Bardelys, still believed to be Lesperon, is brought to trial for treasonwhere Chatellerault is the judge. Chatellerault refuses to admit his identity and condemns him to death.
