00:04my grandmother came from a thousand years in the future in an age when women
00:09had little standing and noblemen keep countless mistresses she alone championed equality and
00:15demanded absolute fidelity from her husband
00:23elena i love you i'll give you my lands my castle everything i own will you marry me
00:30i understand how you feel but my husband must be devoted to me alone he can never take a
00:35mistress can you promise me that i can i'll stay in this world for you but if you ever take
00:42another
00:42woman i'll leave at once and never come back i swear i'll never betray you then yes i'll marry you
00:55for the next 40 years grandfather and grandmother remained as devoted as ever
01:01every year he celebrated their wedding anniversary with her a custom said to exist only in grandmother's
01:07time lord q has come to wish you a happy birthday my lady
01:18lady elena i wish you a very happy birthday please accept this gift
01:28lord hugh and isla have known each other since childhood you grew up together and i couldn't be
01:33happier for you both but our family has its own rules husband and wife must be absolutely faithful to
01:40one another if you want to marry isla you can never take a mistress lord hugh can you promise
01:46that minstrels have carried the story of your swan-like devotion to each other across the kingdoms
01:51countless young men and women envy the love you share i want to be a man like lord ralph
01:56and make isla happy hold it up i'm back
02:08my lady this is daisy she's carrying my child and i want her to stay at the castle until the
02:14baby is
02:15born what what did you say grandmother i said daisy is carrying my child
02:27since you have family matters to attend to my lord i'll take my leave
02:34ralph do you remember the vow you made the day you married enough we've been married for 40 years
02:39and you've been the only woman in my life everyone says i'm a good husband daisy is carrying my child
02:47and she's moving in this isn't up for discussion how could this happen grandfather loves grandmother
02:54more than life itself how could he say something so cruel to her in my time women can go to
02:59school
03:00just like men they can become merchants or soldiers or enter politics people are free to choose whom they
03:06marry and if a woman can no longer live with her husband she can seek a divorce whenever she wants
03:12if your world is so wonderful why did you choose to stay here because of your grandfather he loves me
03:20respects me and would risk his life for me he's the only reason i stayed in this world what if
03:26grandfather
03:26treats you badly one day your grandfather would never hurt me but if that day ever came i'd leave him
03:33without hesitation and return to my own world i gave you 40 years of comfort with everything you needed
03:39while people laughed at me the entire time what more could you possibly want i see so this is how
03:46you really feel yes and from now on stop spreading those ridiculous ideas about everyone being born
03:52equal and women being independent if i hadn't protected you your words and actions would have gotten you
03:58burned as a heretic years ago mother look what joan and i brought you it wasn't easy to find come
04:05take a
04:05look what's happened father thank goodness you're here please help grandmother grandfather brought home

04:28the
04:28future but above all i taught him to respect women mom you're amazing i love you more than anyone
04:36i raised him to be sensible and principled and he depended on me his mother more than anyone
