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.
