In the second part of 'The Minstrel of Neuenahr' we leave behind young love for war and despair. A typical love story in German folklore.
'The Minstrel of Neuenahr' is a story in two parts, and this one is eternally hopeful and filled with young love.
Our first tale of the week is a story of a noble knight under the besieging army of a bishop in 'The Last Knight of Altenahr'.
In our final story of the week a father learns that having daughters isn't quite so bad when he takes in a deposed Emperor.
In the second part of the Rhine tale of 'Genovefa' we learn the fate of the Countess, her son, and the villainous Golo.
This week we once again have a two part tale with a historical origin - although the tale of 'Genovefa' is much kinder to its protagonist than its historical counterpart.
In today's episode we explore the healing properties of Rhine wines in 'The Doctor's wine of Bernkastel'.

In 'The Templars of Lahneck' we get a story of the conflict between the Knights Templar and the Church.
