about

Alice de Lacy, the Countess of Lincoln, wife to the Earl of Lancaster, was secret lover to her husband’s sworn enemy Sir Hugh Despenser. Neglected by her husband and kept away from courtly social life , she was free to pursue and educate herself in the affairs of men – the arts of music, politics and war. After the failed rebellion against Edward II and the Despensers, her husband was executed. Despite his past relationship with the Countess, Hugh saw to it that she was stripped of her land titles and wealth. She spitefully warns him of his own inevitable downfall, just as she warned her husband that his campaign would only end in death and defeat.

lyrics

You common fool
Now your treason hangs above you
Hell hath no fury like she
Your fatal error,
Alas, was to deny her…
A rightful place in your bed
Abomination!
Schooled in the secrets of men!
Poetess sings
Of love unrequited
This man will fall from grace

Write! - The Countess scorned sits down to write
Ride! - The Countess scorned sets out to ride
Die! - The Countess scorned lays down to die

All that I am
All that remains,
This female shadow to you
I take no lover
I stake no claims
Know from where the hammer fell
Abomination!
Schooled in the secrets of war!
Poetess sings
Of love’s defeat
This man is soon to lose his life

Write! - The Countess scorned sits down to write
Ride! - The Countess scorned sets out to ride
Die! - The Countess scorned lays down to die
