| Summary | "Lords and Lovers and Other Dramas" by Olive Tilford Dargan is a collection of dramatic works likely written in the early 20th century. The opening play, "Lords and Lovers," is set in 13th century England, depicting the intricate relationships and power struggles among nobility in a historical context. The narrative revolves around characters such as King Henry III, Earl of Pembroke, and others who navigate treachery, loyalty, and love against the backdrop of looming political conflict. At the start of the narrative, the scene unfolds in the Earl of Pembroke's castle where an ailing Pembroke discusses matters of state and his son Richford. The tension heightens as they await the arrival of King Henry, providing a glimpse into the dynamics of father-son relationships amidst political pressures. Pembroke’s concern extends beyond his health as he hints at underlying conspiracies and the external threat from the French. Interspersed with moments of dialogue that underscore themes of loyalty and betrayal, the opening establishes a rich context poised for further developments as political machinations, conflicts of interest, and personal destinies intertwine.
