The magic ring, Vol. 3 (of 3) by La Motte-Fouqué
"The magic ring, Vol. 3 (of 3)" by La Motte-Fouqué is a romance novel written in the early 19th century. This volume blends chivalric adventure, Christian piety, and Eastern pageantry around a talismanic ring. It follows Bertha von Lichtenried, Sir Folko de Montfaucon, and their circle—including Gabrielle, Blanchefleur, and the emir Nurreddin—through abductions, rescues, conversions, and sea-borne quests. At the start of the novel, Bertha is tricked by her Moorish maid Zulma
into going to a coastal cross and is seized by Alhafiz despite storm, thunder, and her courageous warnings. In Carthagena, the merchant Theobaldo uses the ring to revive Folko from a tomb, charm guards and a chained tiger, and free Gabrielle and Blanchefleur to Don Hernandez’s ship, while the emir pointedly does not pursue. Brought before Nurreddin, Bertha’s presence leads him to execute her abductors, honour his pledged reward, treat her with reverence, and—after sharing a tale hinting at his own origins—take her to sea, where her calm faith counters his grand plan to assail Rome; at Ostia he and many of his men receive baptism from the pope. In a contrasting thread, Folko’s storm-tossed voyage ends at Genoa, a challenge to Theobaldo dissolves into a humiliating illusion, and the proud Count Vinciguerra departs.
