The grand finale of the five-part epic about the time of Frederick Barbarossa. Year 1167. Frederick Barbarossa's Italian field campaign ended disastrously. He barely escapes with his wife Beatrix and children from the plague and from the attacks of the Lombards. Fighting flares up again between Henry the Lion and his many enemies. Henry's pride and power will increase even more when he marries the young English royal daughter Matilda. Silver can be found in Knight Christian's settler village in the March of Meissen. Margrave Ota does not hesitate to make the most of it. The decision also has an impact on the distribution of power in the Imperial Empire. The campaign of the princes against Lvov, in which Ota and his brothers take a significant part, will force the emperor to act, even though he has forgiven Henry everything so far. Who among them will prevail in the end?
