From a review of Norma (Bellini) performed by the Opera Southwest Ensemble:

Norma is the priestess of a community of Druids in ancient Gaul who has fallen deeply in love with one of the conquering enemy, the Roman consul Pollione. They have two children together. Adalgisa is the virgin handmaiden with whom Pollione falls in love.
