Remigio is brought before Bernard Gui, who attempts to extract a confession.

Remigio is brought before Bernard Gui, who attempts to extract a confession. William is concerned that Bernard is attempting to implicate the Franciscan Order in the heretical crimes.

Salvatore is returned to the abbey with the Occitan girl in shackles, and she is accused of witchcraft by Bernard Gui. Adso arrives back and is horrified to learn of the accusations.

Salvatore is tortured and confesses to Bernardo that he witnessed Remigio kill a bishop when they were both followers of the heretic Dolcino. Malachia is called as a witness and tells of being given a package of letters to conceal by Remigio when Remigio arrived at the abbey many years ago. Remigio at last confesses to being a follower of Dolcino and of still believing in the doctrine of poverty.

William and the Franciscans are alarmed at the confession and Bernard Gui linking the heretical teachings of Dolcino to their own vows of poverty. Adso persuades Jorge to offer absolution to the imprisoned Occitan girl and asks William for help in protecting the girl. Anna, who has overpowered a monk and is disguised in his robes, breaks into the cells holding Remigio, Salvatore and the girl, but is forced to hide in the same cells when the monk frees himself and calls the alarm.
