Note: This text is critically designated as part of the Version A group (Runte, JONAS, Arlima, Foerh-Janssens, Speer, etc.). However, it contains one of the additional 'L' stories, ''Noverca''. The empress tells this story after judgement (and, in this text, trial by combat) has already occurred. She tells it, she says, to illustrate her hopes - that her husband would believe her over his son. |
