A woman stood above the corpse and lighted yet another candle while Raimbaut de Vaquieras waited motionless.

In 1194 Henry VI. made an expedition to Sicily to secure the claims of his wife, Constance, to that kingdom: the Marquis Boniface as a vassal of the imperial house followed the Emperor and Raimbaut accompanied his contingent. He refers to his share in the campaign in a later letter to the marquis.

"It would seem that you have somehow blundered through long years, preserving always the ignorance of a child, and the blindness of a child. I cannot understand how this is possible; nor can I keep from smiling at your high-flown notions; and yet, I envy you, Raimbaut." Thus the afternoon passed, and the rule of Prince Guillaume was made secure.
You must stand by, in fetters, and see this done you, you, my master! you, who love this woman as I loved that dead Zoraida who was not fair enough to please you!" Raimbaut, trapped, impotent, cried out: "This is not possible " And for all that, he knew the Saracen to be foretelling the inevitable.
