Stealing Heaven is a 1988 film based on the love story of Peter Abelard and Héloïse, who are probably the most famous real lovers from the Medieval era. We are introduced to Héloïse as a novice in a convent school, where her impertinent questions cause her instructor Sister Cecilia great dismay. The kindly abbess, far more tolerant, realizes that Héloïse has no calling for a religious life, and instead sends her off for further education in Paris. There at the University Héloïse encounters the popular yet controversial Peter Abelard, who has students engage in very lively public debates on many moral and theological questions. He is charmed by Héloïse, whose sharp wit and intellect is a match for his. Before too long, the pair have clearly fallen in love. Héloïse is eager to go further with Abelard, yet by custom the teachers are to remain celibate. Moreover, her uncle Canon Fulbert (Denholm Elliott) is intent upon marrying Héloïse off to a rich man, whatever her wishes, and she is under his guardianship. Despite this, Abelard soon gives in to her urging and the pair begin an affair. However, danger looms for them both when knowledge of the secret leaks out... | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Stealing Heaven / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: Though largely accurate, some liberties are taken. The film portrays Héloïse as a novice who leaves her convent school, abandoning that path for the University of Paris. In reality there's no evidence she ever was a novice or studied in a convent school, and when Abelard met her she was a well-known scholar on her own already. Abelard actually stated he tried to seduce Héloïse, when in the film it's portrayed as her doing so. He said this was because of her fame noted above. Whether Canon Fulbert was punished isn't recorded. What became of Astrolabe isn't known, as Abelard only mentioned him once and Héloïse did not at all.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |
