Today brings us the final story from Wilhelm Ruland's "Legends of the Rhine". 'Stavoren' is a tale filled with hubris and honestly it doesn't end well for anyone involved.
The penultimate story in "Legends of the Rhine", 'Lohengrin', is a tale that should be very familiar to opera lovers as well as fans of tales of chivalry.
This is the final week of "Legends of the Rhine" and it's ending with three amazing tales, beginning with the story of the hero 'Siegfried'.
In today's conclusion of 'The Cathedral Builder of Cologne' we discover the result of the bet between Master Gerhard and the Devil.
