"Die Richterin" by Conrad Ferdinand Meyer is a novella composed during the late 19th century. This narrative revolves around a young and strong-willed female judge named Stemma, who is portrayed in her complex role within a patriarchal society as she navigates themes of justice, power, and morality in a world marked by violence and intrigue, particularly surrounding the untimely death of her husband, the Comes Wulf. The opening of "Die Richterin" sets a vivid historical backdrop with Karl the Great ascending the Capitol steps in Rome, hinting at a tumultuous period filled with courtly conflicts and power struggles. As the emperor prepares for a solemn mass in remembrance of his father, we are introduced to characters including Stemma and her son Wulfrin, who is hesitant to confront the painful issues surrounding his father's death. The dialogue provides a glimpse into Wulfrin's dismissive attitude towards Stemma's judicial authority, and his struggle with familial loyalty is established through his reluctant engagement with Stemma's expectations and the burden of his heritage. Meanwhile, the ongoing conflict with an invading Lombard army adds urgency and depth to their interactions, setting the stage for a gripping exploration of justice and legacy.
