Lope de Vega reveals his concern for the dignity of the peasant class in this powerful drama of love, abuse of power and justice. Considered one of Lope's masterpieces, the drama begins when Galician peasants Sancho and Elvira's wedding plans are canceled by feudal lord Tello, who wants Elvira for himself and cruelly violates her. After the King learns of this abuse, he disguises himself as a magistrate to personally see that justice is served and love rewarded.
