In thirteenth-century Burgos the Infanta Solisa, only child of the King of Castile, rejects a royal suitor because she still loves Count Alarcos, a prince of the blood. Alarcos is already married to the Countess Florimonde, and his ambition to become the Infanta’s husband leads him toward a terrible crime, drawn from an old Spanish ballad.
