Louis Mazzini's mother's frequent tales of how her
titled D'Ascoyne family shunned her after she eloped with an Italian
commoner causes a simmering resentment in him.
On being spurned because of his lowly status by his
lifetime (if devious and fickle) sweetheart Sibella, he decides to
permanently remove all the D'Ascoynes standing between him and the
Dukedom.
Becoming romantically involved with one of the widows
he has created, he finds Sibella's jealousy could seriously threaten
his grand design.
