One day, one of them, Erard de Montargis, organized a big tournament near Romorantin, in 1429.A single knight stood out from all the others, it was Dunois. Erard and Dunois clashed.Marie, in love with Dunois, faints from the fear for her beloved, which Erard is very upset about. Erard, having lost ainst Dunois, decides to besiege the tower where Marie is. Desperate, she throws herself in the void. Dunois, thinking she is dead, kills Erard in rage. In the end, she survived thanks to a thick layer of grass, having cushioned her fall. She married Dunois.

→ After having married Marie, Dunois leaves for a time far from Blandy. And during his absence, it is a certain Gavi, a greedy and villainous man,who takes care of current affairs.He stole his lord's income and hanged all who stood against him. Gavi had made the trunk with the money of Dunois and taken refuge in the cursed tree.
