Question

what is the envoy doing doing there in the poem of my last duches ​

Answer 1

That message is that she had better behave in line, and value his name and rank for its worthy status, or else. He is looking for a docile, controllable woman who worships him-which his last wife did not, at least not enough-and if she isn't, her probable fate would be fatal.
