Summary
Set in medieval Europe when valiant knights battle for love
and honor, this is the adventurous story of two men - a mercenary
soldier and the son of a feudal lord - and their love for the same
woman.
The band of medieval mercenaries (lead by Rutger Houer) take revenge
on the feudal lord by kidnapping the betrothed of the noble's son.
As the plague and warfare cut a swathe of destruction throughout the
land, the mercenaries hole up in a castle and await their fate. Sexual
and violent content.
