Divish orders the castle be prepared for battle, and Stephanie ensures that Henry is fed and given a bed to rest. He warns Sir Divish that Skalitz has been razed to the ground by the mercenary army of King Sigismund and Markvart von Auliz, and that Talmberg might be next.
Stephanie is present at the castle when, in 1403, a young man named Henry rides into Talmberg in Run!, with an arrow in his leg and Cumans at his heels. Now thirty, and with Divish even older, Stephanie is concerned that she will never be able to give him an heir, which causes her a great deal of grief. It took seven years for Stephanie to raise the ransom and be reunited with her husband.īy that time, he was old and frail, and even five years later, the two have not succeeded in having a child and have grown distant.
Stephanie appealed to the king, but he did not interfere. Although he was kind to her, they had only been shortly married before he was captured by Havel Medek of Valdek, who imprisoned Divish and occupied Talmberg. Stephanie was married to Lord Divish when she was 18 years old, arranged by her father.
