The son of the Lord of Lorn mastered his schoolwork quickly, and his father sent him to France, with a steward, to learn foreign languages.
The steward sold the clothing and set himself up as the lord of Lorn on the money, persuading the Duke of France's daughter to marry him.
The son was in the duke's lands, and the lady noticed him, summoned him to find out why he was so mournful.
The lady persuaded her father to put off the wedding three months and wrote a letter to the Lord of Lorn.
The Duke of France had the steward executed and married his daughter to the true son.
