sounds to me like the narrator saved a wild woman from execution by accusing someone else of her crime, but she reciprocates by running off with the king (or someone of royal blood, "kissing your captor's hand" and then "your highness is holding your chains").
there are some lyrics errors also. esp in the first part, where it should be "wild hide will weather, in the weathering days to wear leather made soft so princes can lay . . ." (same with later on in the song).
she was planning to kill someone, but then she was captured with a trinket and a name (they told her they knew someone she knew, maybe had one of that person's possessions? maybe the narrator on both counts?).
