Synopsis
The hero, Quentin Durward, is the last offspring of an old Scottish aristocratic family whose members have been murdered. He owes his life to the help of a monk. He grew up in a monastery until he was supposed to take the monk's vows himself. He escapes to France , where he is in the middle of the conflict between Louis XI. and his cousin, Charles the Bold , gets caught. Quentin can earn the admiration of the king and has many adventures to endure, not least to save the beautiful Isabelle de Croye, whose lands the scheming Karl is after.
As a television series
Quentin Durward was directed by Gilles Grangier in 1970 as a Franco-German evening series a. a. produced for ZDF . The first broadcast took place from April to July 1971 and comprised 13 parts. Although it was not officially part of the “canon” of the Advent multi- part series, neither in broadcast format nor in date, it was not only produced by the same companies, but chief author and producer Walter Ulbrich also co-wrote the script here. In addition, a leading actor can be heard once again with the “wrong” voice: Amadeus August, who later dubbed himself, was given the voice of Ivar Combrinck .
