    Duke of Devon is an interesting character, his manner of thinking is: the maid, which he loves, is like a rose. You want to have her in your garden, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t other flowerd around it. You can go and smell them, but you’ll always be fascinated by this one rose. Of course…until her half sister arrives…

    But as you said: the marriage is the incident that leads to a lot of problems. That starts in the middle of the script, so I suppose in the middle of the film…

    Thanks for your reaction! Well, as I'm still writing the script, I've changed it a little bit. I've realised I have to change something to obtain a resonable goal for each character. -Duke of Devon wants to marry the maid because he loves her (despite the fact he's a women admirer) -Duke of NorfolkRead more

    Thanks for your reaction!
    Well, as I’m still writing the script, I’ve changed it a little bit. I’ve realised I have to change something to obtain a resonable goal for each character.

    -Duke of Devon wants to marry the maid because he loves her (despite the fact he’s a women admirer)
    -Duke of Norfolk will legitimize the maid so she can marry her beloved. That’s how he pays off his debts he owes Duke of Devon.

    After they are married the troubles begin. The maid realizes her husband is a real womanizer. When she fails to become pregnant, she secretly invites a kind of ‘witch’ to forecast her future. That’s when the witch tells her she sees ‘death’…maid’s death… “your love will kill you”
    Of course a big question rises ‘What does that mean?’. Her love is her one and only Duke. She realizes the only reason why he could kill her is if he falls in love with someone else and wants to marry her. (He will never be able to divorce her, the church will not allow, so it’s easier to get rid of your wife). She keeps an eye on every girl that enters the castle, one of them could cause her death. That’s the moment when Duke of Norfolk sents his other daughter to serve the Duchess (former maid). The Duchess realizes that’s the girl that will bring her down, the Duke is keen on her. But she can’t kill her own half-sister, right? And she doesn’t want to die neither… Her goal is to survive and keep her husband by her side. But is it possible?

    The end will be dramatic. I hope you understand now. 😀
    And sorry if I made some mistakes, I was typing fast…

    What do you think of this logline?

    ” After a maid has been legitimized by her father, Duke of Norfolk, she’s able to marry Duke of Devon, her secret lover. Once married she faces the dark side of being a Duchess and wife of a womanizer as she’ll have to fight for her love and for her life. “

    Omg, I have a good idea... As I am still writing the script, I've decided to change the story from the middle. Her father will legitimize her and let her marry Duke of Devonshire. But as we all know: be careful what you wish for. She will feel the same as his previous wife as she will follow in herRead more

    I really adore medieval films, but I think there aren’t that many made the last time. A love story with a lot of intrigues, I love that. 😀

    I let you know when I’m ready and I’ll present you a new logline.
    Of course you can still give me some advice, I would love that!
