This low-relief panel, one side of a small jewelry box known as a coffret, features four scenes from the courtly love poem The Chatelaine of Vergy. The first scene shows a knight defending his honor to his duke after the duchess falsely accuses him of seduction. As the tragedy unfolds, the maiden to whom the knight actually pledged his love is led by the jealous duchess to believe that her lover has betrayed her. In the end, the maiden dies of heartbreak, the knight kills himself in sorrow, and the duke kills the duchess for her deception.
