Significance of The Prison

As with seemingly everything else in town, the prison belongs to Richard de Guise. Martin and Nicolas visit the prison to talk to Jane Lambert and a guard allows Martin inside in exchange for bribe money. One side of the prison faces a street block. A coat of arms portraying a leopard couchant and three doves in a diagonal line hangs above the door. The prison encloses a courtyard with a sun clock in the center. Prisoners are kept in the underground dungeon.
