Synopsis
In the 11th century, Chrysagon, a warlord under the Duke of Normandy, his brother Draco, and his companion Bors drive away the invading Frisians from a coastal town. Chrysagon, who is in charge of keeping order in the village, meets and becomes attracted to Bronwyn, a young woman betrothed to Marc, the son of the village leader, Odins. He takes advantage of his right to have wedding night privileges with the bride, and the two fall in love. When they refuse to part at dawn, Marc seeks revenge. He calls on the Frisians and informs them that the son of their king is being held prisoner in the village. While the Frisians prepare for the attack, Draco rides for reinforcements and returns with the news that he is taking over his brother's position. Realizing that he will not be able to maintain the support of the Normans as long as Chrysagon is still alive, Draco arranges a duel with his brother, but Draco himself is killed. Chrysagon then returns the young prince to the Frisians, and they agree to give sanctuary to Bronwyn. Suddenly Marc attacks, and the wounded warlord rides away with Bors to make peace with the duke.
