Élise is the pet name for the Lady Elisabeth du Chauvigny.  She has spent many a joyful day with her Aunt Marie in Poitiers, learning music and the arts.  She loves to listen to her Aunt Marie tell her of the old days in the Court of Queen Aliénor.  She dreams that one day she will have lovers of her own, composing songs to her beauty and willing to undergo through trials and dangers to show her how much she was loved.
