In this version, the emperor is named Marcomeris, son of Priam, and his first wife is the daughter of the duke of Carthage. At the end of the narrative, the empress attempts twice to avert her death - once by insisting on a single combat duel between her nephew and the and the prince, and then by demanding a 'toise' (something which, according to Campbell, may be 'encircled by the arms') to be burned with her. Once granted, she claims the emperor himself as her 'toise'. The prince averts both of these ploys.
