"Under the Red Robe" by Stanley J. Weyman is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. The story unfolds in France during a tumultuous time, capturing themes of honor, dueling, and complex human relationships. The central character, Gil de Berault, finds himself in a dangerous social environment where his past actions and reputation precede him, leading to confrontations that could change the course of his life. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Gil de Berault, who is embroiled in a duel against a younger opponent after a heated exchange at an eating house. Despite the callous nature of their fight, the encounter reveals de Berault's internal conflict, where he grapples with the repercussions of his violent lifestyle and the sense of honor imposed by society. As the duel escalates, de Berault faces not only the immediate threat of violence but also the looming shadow of the Cardinal’s judgment against him. His fate hangs in the balance as he is taken into custody, and thus begins his entanglement with the political machinations and personal stakes that will shape his journey throughout the book.
