A fictionalization of Guerre's story, an expository depiction of
the battle of Saint-Quentin and the reconquest of the British
Calais, the two Dianas refer to women near and dear to Henry the
Second: the king's mistress Diane de Portier, and the illegitimate
daughter Diana de Castro. The first volume shapes the romance
between Diana de Castro and the Count Gabriel Montgommery - with
trials and tribulations. The second volume focuses on the
Catholic/Protestant conflicts under the reigns of Francis II
(married to Mary of Scots) and Charles IX. This effort converts
Dumas Pere's novel (The Two Dianas) into 17 epics and illustrations
of the terrifying meetings between the Viscount d'Exemes
(Montgommery) and Henry II, the identity trial between Arnold du
Thill and Martin Guerre, and introduces notable historical figures,
such as Catherine de Medicis, Mary Stuart, Cardinal de Lorraine,
and of course, Ambroise Pare-the famous French surgeon with his
audacious techniques and inventions. Transforming the 424-page
prose into a 218-page stanza, the plot remains unaltered.
