About this piece
The Princess sends her messenger to the King's court
Summary
The King of Navarre, together with his three lords Berowne, Longaville and Dumaine, make an oath to scolarship for three years. In order to dedicate themselves to their studies they swear to fasting, to give up women and to sleep as little as possible. The King decides not to allow any women in his court. The daughter of the King of France, however, arrives with three women, Maria, Katherine and Rosaline. The King refuses to allow them in his house because he doesn't want to break his oath and meets them out in the field with his three lords. They all show interest in the three women and the king falls in love with the princess. In this scene, ACT II, Scene 2, the princess has just arrived at the King of Navarre's park and sends a messenger, Boyet, to announce her arrival and to inquire about the king's oath to scolarship.
