The War Lord Chrysagon, a Norman knight defending shoreline settlements against Frisian raiders, decides to take the "right of first night" with a beautiful peasant woman. He falls in love with the wench and she in turn chooses to stay with the knight. But her husband, enraged by her decision, joins the forces of Draco, Chrysagon's traitorous brother who is plotting to usurp the War Lord's authority in the region. Together with Frisian warriors Draco attacks and lays siege to the village. (official distributor synopsis)
