Best Answer

A Turkish man, Safie’s father, was sympathized by the De Lacey family in France. He was Muslim, and the country he was trying to prosper in, France, did not like Muslims at the time. So, he was in trouble with the law because of his religion. As a result, he ended up in jail. Thus, the De Laceys, being kind-hearted people, decided to help the Turkish merchant. The Turkish man offered to pay them back, but since the De Laceys were already wealthy, Felix De Lacey turned him down. However, during one visit to his jail cell, he encountered the man’s daughter, Safie. She sparked an interest in Felix, the young De Lacey, and Felix asked for her hand in marriage as a recompense for cracking the Turkish man out of jail. The Turkish man agreed. Turns out, the Turkish man back-stabbed the De Laceys and the family was caught by the French authorities. At the end, the De Lacey family had to flee France, their homeland, and resettle, impoverished and embarrassed in a small village in Germany.
