He is cursed by Monsieur de Saint-Vallier after persuading his boss, King François I, not to sentence him to death, inadvertently assists in the abduction of his own daughter, Blanche, to be seduced by the King (in whose sexual conquests he has often been an accomplice), is mocked by the King's court when he discovers what has happened and swears vengeance against the King, and then finds that the body Saltabadil has given him that he thinks is the King's is actually Blanche's.
