Bussy D'Ambois and The Revenge of Bussy D'Ambois by George Chapman
"Bussy D'Ambois and The Revenge of Bussy D'Ambois" by George Chapman is a pair of Jacobean tragedies written in the early 1600s. The first play dramatizes the rise and fall of the ambitious Bussy, while its 1613 sequel follows his brother Clermont, a Christian Stoic caught between loyalty and vengeance. When Clermont is urged to punish his brother's killer, he must reconcile his philosophical principles with demands for revenge, leading to confrontations
that test honor, duty, and conscience in a treacherous French court. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
