Text Box: Heilewif’s Tale tells of a wise woman who is called upon in old age to combat an evil curse then plaguing the Heidelberg castle of Count Robert of Wittelsbach. A kind of bewitchment had overcome many of his household staff and his beloved and beautiful daughter Aurianna was most seriously afflicted. For days she had lain in a trancelike stupor, hardly able to speak or walk. It was hoped that constant prayers would end the ordeal and for a time it seemed so. But the spell returned and once again Aurianna fell victim, wandering and hallucinating for several days. Frantic efforts were made by men of science and God alike to quiet the spell and although she slowly recovered, Robert continued to fear a return of the curse. He began to believe that his household was under attack by witches, but had no idea why, or how he might combat it. All of his vassals and knights with their swords and armor seemed useless to him and he felt helpless and alone. He knew he needed to unravel the mystery of the spell before it unraveled his rule.
