The nobleman Lanseloet is in love with the young maiden Sanderijn. He tries to seduce her, but she does not want to get involved because of her own low standing fearing she would not come to marry Lanseloet.
Lanseloet's mother wants to end this affaire and imagines that Lanseloet's love would soon disappear once he has possessed Sanderijn. She thinks of a plan to make Lanseloet promise her he will let Sanderijn go forever after one night with her. Lanseloet agrees. Sanderijn feels humiliated and betrayed and leaves the court. After many journeys she meets a noble knight who marries her even though she has been dishonoured.
Lanseloet now understands how shamefully he has treated Sanderijn. He is still in love with her and sends his manservant Reinout to find her. When he does, she tells Reinout she would never leave her husband for Lanseloet.
Trying to spare his master from suffering he tells him Sanderijn has died. At first Lanseloet distrusts this message, but after seeing evidence of their meeting he knows Sanderijn will be lost to him forever. Lanseloet dies of grief and unreciprocated love.

The Second Maiden's Tragedy is a Jacobean play that survives only in manuscript. It was written in 1611, and performed in the same year by the King's Men. The manuscript was acquired, but never printed, by the publisher Humphrey Moseley after the closure of the theatres in 1642. In 1807, the manuscript was acquired by the British Museum. Victorian poet and critic, Algernon Swinburne, was the first to attribute this work to Thomas Middleton; this judgement has since been joined by most editors and scholars. The play has received few modern revivals. It was the opening production at the newly refurbished Hackney Empire studio in 2006 starring Alexander Fiske-Harrison and Jos Vantyler.
