(Frederic Stewart) Isham, F. S. (Frederic Stewart) Isham, Frederick S. (Frederick Stewart) Under the Rose E-text prepared by Al Haines "Under the Rose" by Frederic Stewart Isham is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in a medieval context, revolving around the court of King Francis of France and the intrigues among jesters, nobles, and a princess. The narrative features a cast of colorful characters, including a clever jester named Triboulet and a spirited maid named Jacqueline, who navigate love, power, and social dynamics within the royal court. The opening portion introduces the reader to a lively scene in Fools' Hall, where jesters and minstrels gather. Triboulet, the court's hunchbacked fool, basks in his status among his peers, while Jacqueline steals attention with her beauty and sharp wit. Their playful dialogue hints at deeper tensions tied to the court’s political machinations and relationships, especially with the entrance of a new jester from the Duke of Friedwald. This segment sets up a world rich with witty banter, social commentary, and the looming presence of love and jealousy as the royal wedding approaches, creating an engaging backdrop for the unfolding drama.
