Canto 25 di 46 · 25 min per leggere: canto
In Canto 25, Ruggiero saves Ricciardetto from execution, mistakes him for Bradamante, and hears how he deceives Fiordispina by impersonating his sister. At Agrismonte, he promises to rescue two prisoners, then writes to Bradamante requesting time to help Agramante before changing faith and seeking marriage.
Cosa succede
- Two pagan rivals postpone their quarrel and ride toward Paris to help their army.
- Ruggiero attacks an execution crowd and rescues a young man whose resemblance to Bradamante misleads him.
- Ricciardetto identifies himself and describes exploiting Fiordispina’s love for his sister through impersonation and a false transformation story.
- At Agrismonte, Aldigier reports a planned prisoner exchange, and Ruggiero offers to free Malagigi and Viviano.
- Troubled by competing obligations, Ruggiero writes to Bradamante asking for time to relieve Agramante’s siege.
- At dawn, Ruggiero and the two cousins ride to intercept the exchange and encounter a knight with a bird emblem.
