Set in 1495, the story follows William, Viscount Beaumont, who is deemed unfit to care for himself due to mental health issues and placed under a guardian's care. The narrative highlights the surprisingly compassionate treatment he receives, challenging the conventional views of late medieval attitudes toward mental illness. This exploration offers a nuanced perspective on the historical context of mental health care during that era.
