Noble Svpnnpsis King Bela IV, King of Hungary, has called together his subjects-the Magyar nobles and freemen, and the warlike Cumanien tribesmen-for a Spring Festival, hoping not only to promote more friendly relations between them, but to secure a greater allegiance to himself. King Bela's position on the throne is insecure, because he has been crowned only with the crown of St. Stephen and not with that of Charlemagne, which has mysteriously disappeared from the Royal Treasury. CThe crowns are considered sacred by the people and during the Festival both factions pantomime a legend connected with the special crown of their alle iancej. 3 Before the festivities begin the king sends his eldest son, Prince Stephen, to ask the chiefls daughter to dance. The prince is astonished at her beauty and straightway falls in love with her, but the Cumanien maid IS seemingly indifferent. Throughout the contests it is clear that the Cumaniens and Magyars cordially hate each otherg when all eyes are on the contestants, a Cumanien archer steals from the group and takes aim at King Bela. The chiefls daughter sees him just in time to snatch the arrow from the taut bow and save the king's life. King Bela in gratitude asks the chief to give his daughter to Prince Stephen as a bride. The chief feels greatly honored, the prince and the Cumanien maid are overjoyed, and the betrothal ceremony takes place. The chief calls four of his men, who bring the ancient iron chest containing the long-lost crown of Charlemagne. King B' ' e a IS now secure on his throne, all ill-feeling between Magyars and Cumaniens is at an endg they join together in a wild Hungarian dance, ending with cries of Long Live the King! 64
