Love + Misinformation = Death
Heloise and Abelard: The story of Heloise and Abelard is enough to terrify the bravest lovers. The Dark Ages are known for countless examples of human cruelty, none more famous than this story. Around 1100, Peter Abelard arrived in Paris to study at the Notre Dame where he became a respected philosopher described as "the keenest thinker and boldest theologian of the 12th Century”. He was hired by Fulbert, the canon of Notre Dame, to tutor his niece, Heloise. Abelard and the scholarly Heloise fell deeply in love, conceived a child, and were secretly married. But her uncle was furious, so Abelard sent Heloise to safety in a convent. Thinking that Abelard intended to abandon his niece the canon had a hired thug castrate Abelard while he slept. Abelard then became a monk and devoted his life to learning and the heartbroken Heloise became a nun, eventually becoming the abbess of a convent that Abelard had founded. Despite their separations and tribulations, Abelard and Heloise remained devoted to one another throughout their lives. Heloise envisioned her position as abbess as continuing her Beloved’s work and therefore consistent to adoring Abelard. Their poignant love letters were later published and have inspired lovers ever since; the classic contrast between the extremes of human sexual passion and devotion to the Divine.
Love + Misinformation + Castration!!! + Convents
Tristan and Isolde: Isolde, daughter of the King of Ireland was betrothed to King Mark of Cornwall. King Mark sent his nephew, Tristan, to Ireland to escort her to her bridegroom. During the voyage, Isolde and Tristan fell in love and after their passion began they also drank a love potion that was supposed to be given to Isolde on her wedding night so that she would love her husband, the much older King of Cornwall. Isolde did marry Mark of Cornwall, but the love affair with Tristan continued after the marriage. When King Mark finally learned of the affair, he forgave Isolde, but Tristan was banned from Cornwall and Tristan was sent back to Brittany. There he married Iseult of Brittany because he literally loved her name, similar to Isolde; but he never consummated the marriage because he loved Isolde. After falling ill, he sent for Isolde hoping that she could cure him. If she agreed to come, the returning ship's sails were to be white, or the sails would be black if she had refused. HI wife, seeing the white sails, lied to Tristan and told him that the sails were black. He died of grief before Isolde could reach him and Isolde died soon after of a broken heart.
