Faster !

- Come on ! - His time is running out.

- Come on ! - He's over there!

Quickly !

- Come on ! - Hurry up !

- Over there ! - We break up.

Don't come any closer!

I told you to stop!

I am not a wild boar. I am Frederick of Hohenstaufen.

Your Emperor.

Is that you, Barbarossa?

If that's what they call me,

yes. Who are you ?

I am Alberto da Giussano,

son of Giovanni, Milanese and blacksmith.

Well, blacksmith...

Take this dagger.

It will serve you when you are a man.

Here is the Emperor King! He's there !

Here you are at last, Lord.

I'm not sure it was a good idea.

Hildegard of Bingen is a great witch.

They say she sees through bodies.

At 5 years old, she was able to describe a calf that was in her mother's womb.

They write their own music.

The calf had already died

in the cow's womb.

Why this trip?

My Sovereign and yours come to seek advice.

He is getting married tomorrow for the 2nd time and wants to know...

This union is blessed.

The virgin tree is not yet ripe

but its roots are strong.

She will give you fruit.

Come... come near...

You...

who claim to be the king of kings.

Is it written in my destiny

that I will reunite the empire?

Hear my words,

Frederick of Bavaria,

Your name...

will be remembered for centuries.

But be careful...

Be careful of the water.

Beware of the scythe.

The scythe brings defeat.

And water...

brings death.

Be careful of water.

So here is the future Empress.

Make my cousin happier than his first wife

who was incapable of being loved and giving him children.

We all hope so.

As you know, His Majesty has been waiting for an heir for too long.

I'm afraid he will have to wait some more.

But he can console himself.

Béatrice brings him all of Burgundy as a dowry.

She is prettier than the other.

- She's just a child. - I didn't think she was so young.

She will be able to bear children.

She promises,

this little French girl.

It even seems that she can read.

My father is going to kill me.

- How are you ? - You're soaked.

- What happened to you ? - I do not wanna talk about it.

Where were you ? Evandro was going to leave without you.

- Sorry, father. - On the way, Alberto!

You have to reach the river before nightfall.

I'm sorry, Evandro.

Quick, give them to me.

Put them with the others.

- The Lodigianis are sleeping. - Let them snore.

You heard ?

Quickly, give.

Well, well, well!

Look at all these dishes.

Will see.

What do you want ?

- We're not in Lodi territory. - Not anymore.

But earlier tonight, you crossed it.

You must pay your dues.

My God !

Stop them, quickly! I'll take this one!

Go away, Alberto. Quickly !

Does he know you love him?

What question ! Of course not.

Raniero da Giussano is too shy and a bit stupid, in my opinion.

He shouldn't wait, you're in high demand.

Approach.

And you ?

Nobody will want me.

It's better like that.

I can only love a very special man.

Alberto.

My God !

Tessa!

Milan never loses the opportunity

to prove its superiority over other cities.

This predominance

worries us, your Majesty.

Hence our coming.

The city of Lodi

has always been loyal to you.

Today, she asks for help from her Emperor.

Milan are taking too much confidence.

It's time to remind him how sharp your blade is.

An order from you and the army will be ready in two weeks.

Let's wait some more.

- Not now. - Lord !

Manage to dominate northern Italy,

and you will become the most powerful king in Europe.

I will write to them.

Call them to order. You will bring it to them.

The emperor has sent me to forbid you from attacking Lodi.

Otherwise, Milan will be banned from the empire.

Here is our answer.

You took one step too far.

You will regret it.

- What did you do ? - No, Raynald!

This is madness !

Excellence!

Excellence!

Explain to me. What are we going to do ?

- What do you suggest? - Let's unite the army.

We are going to attack Lodi.

Lord...

Son of a blacksmith.

It was part of our deal, right?

Milan was defeated, Alberto. Lodi paid for his arrogance.

Are you back yet?

Already ? You're kidding ?

You slept for 4 days.

Lodi lost. They paid for their arrogance.

Come.

- We're going to celebrate. - Come.

Come on, come on.

They are ready.

You had no choice.

It's like they're forcing me to go to war

when all I want is peace.

I know it, Frédéric.

But you no longer have the choice of going to Italy.

The Milanese want independence

but you dream of the glory of a universal empire.

Destroy them!

Destroy Milan, my Lord.

Someone gave me a prophecy

before we got married.

She was talking about fakes and water.

The scythe symbolizes defeat, and the water, death.

The prophet was a witch.

I have another prophecy for you.

I, the queen,

see that you will return victorious from Italy.

And I, your wife, see

that I will miss you terribly.

The dogs are overexcited.

They are afraid of thunder.

They are not afraid of thunder, father.

There is someone.

It's you ! You scared me.

What are you doing here in this weather?

I'm coming to talk to you.

Alone.

Well, I'm listening.

I'm going north to Barbarossa.

You don't teach me anything.

Yes... In truth...

There are 2 women in this house.

Which one interests you?

I've come to ask you for Tessa's hand.

Tessa...

Tessa is of marriageable age.

If you are looking for a wife, this might be a good start.

- Will you talk to him? - Yes.

I will tell him your intentions.

- Everything is planned. - I understand.

We'll talk about it when I get back.

We are finally there.

You will have to conquer these lands to arrive in Sicily, Majesty.

What about Rome?

It's right in the middle. It won't be easy.

Rome is weak and sick. We just have to wait.

How long ?

This stubborn and greedy Englishman who calls himself Pope Adrian IV

already has one foot in the grave.

The cardinal told me that his successor would be more manipulable.

Soon. Very soon

you will be able to sit on Charlemagne's throne.

Let's go.

I've got you.

Siniscalco Barozzi.

He came to our house last night.

He asked for my sister's hand.

Barozzi is a worm.

He will never lead my sister to the altar.

How can you be sure?

Well, I can...

I feel it.

What they say...

is true. You're some kind of...

witch.

No wait.

Hold on !

I brought you something.

With this spoon,

I will take care of you for the rest of my life.

With this dagger, I will defend you at the cost of my life.

What ?

What ?

What's the matter ?

Éléonore!

You sleep ?

I want to show you something.

Look at.

Has he finally decided?

Raniero made me a promise.

Don't tell our father.

He repeats that Siniscalco Barozzi is a potential husband.

That he might be consul one day.

Our father will never have to sleep in his bed.

Listen to your heart, Tessa.

You have to listen to him.

Sleep, both of you!

Tomorrow is another day.

My heart has already chosen.

So be it.

Lord.

You can come in.

I have to speak to the emperor.

I fear you will have to settle for me.

I bring the Pledge of Allegiance from Milan.

Milan has a short memory.

- I don't understand. - But if.

You were there when your consul trampled on the imperial seal.

I, Rainald Dassel, was humiliated,

mocked, beaten by your crowd.

How dare you ?

I also came

to apologize.

It's no longer time to talk.

Return and inform your consul that the Emperor is arriving.

This will not be a courtesy visit.

Listen to me.

There are many nobles in Milan

- favorable to the Emperor. - There is nothing more you can do.

It... stays here.

It's true.

I am scared.

I am scared.

Because I saw the power of the German army.

Their tents cover the entire plain.

They have so many war machines

that our entire place could not contain them.

For sanity's sake, I implore you.

Let's meet up.

- Let's meet up! - No.

We will fight!

Barbarossa's army will soon be here.

You can count the days until the destruction of Milan

on the fingers of one hand.

Each time we come, they build this bridge

more solidly than the time before.

The people of Verona respect tradition.

They know the old customs.

When a German king passes through their lands,

they must build a bridge north of the city.

That's why we respect them.

Majesty! What is going on ?

Watch out for logs!

Stop!

The rope ! Tie the rope!

The rope !

Help !

It's a trap !

No, Majesty,

remember the prophecy,

water brings death!

Help your Emperor! Be cursed!

Come on !

Get her!

He sank !

- Dive! - Find the Emperor!

Find it !

No, Lord!

Give me your hand!

What you did is very serious.

You have joined forces against the Emperor.

You caused the death of many soldiers.

You have not respected the tradition that has saved Verona so far.

For what ?

For what ?

Today is an important day.

I want you to remember one thing.

You can only betray your Emperor once.

I am as cruel

as God is merciful.

Barbarossa destroyed Brèche

There would be 1000 dead.

How do you know ?

Is this one of your visions?

What do you expect from us?

Should we surrender?

What would that change?

Slaves we were, slaves we will be.

We no longer want to be slaves.

Should we embark on a losing battle?

Enough, woman. We all have a duty,

ours is to defend the city,

yours is to stay at home while waiting for your man!

If you have one.

- Don't ever speak to him like that again. - Stopped.

That's enough.

Here they are.

Wonderful.

How many cities will we have to destroy

before they become reasonable?

One more.

Destroy Milan.

and the other cities will run like sheep

ready to obey their shepherd.

Milan...

All of Parma salutes the Emperor.

All of Cremona salutes the Emperor!

All Padua salutes the Emperor!

- All Ferrara salutes the Emperor! - I wonder

what the strongest thing about these people is.

The will to fight for the Empire,

or to contribute to the destruction of Milan?

They are sheep, Rainald.

They don't need to think,

they just have to obey the Emperor.

- You heard ? - It was a flash.

No, it was...

- Over there! - Look over there !

Red beard !

Red beard ! Red beard !

Hurry up !

Come on, hurry up!

My God... I've never seen an army this big.

Let's go, Alberto.

Alberto, come, hurry!

Hurry up ! Come.

What is it ?

Your brothers must not go there.

I saw arrows.

- No. - You have to stop them.

The Germans are there. There are arrows everywhere.

But what are you talking about?

These arrows were not German.

We can set off

at sunrise.

- How many of these machines do we have? - A hundred, Majesty.

Unfortunately, the towers are out of reach.

Can we come closer?

No, Majesty. The Milanese set up a line of defense.

Our machines cannot go beyond that.

Clever.

An advice ?

Our crossbowmen must fire towards the walls

while our soldiers fill the ditch with earth.

- I agree. - Good idea.

The Milanese believe they are safe within the city walls.

We'll leave them there.

We're going to block the doors.

Starve them.

If they do not surrender,

the city will be their grave.

Push, push!

Quick, faster!

Install the basics!

They are preparing to attack!

Take cover!

Archers, shoot!

Take cover!

PULL !

Drop those barrels!

Quick, move these barrels for me!

Keep going!

Attention !

They throw barrels into the water.

To reach the towers!

Quick, throw away these barrels!

Peter one. Fire !

Fire !

Don't give them any respite.

Let's deprive them of food and sleep.

Their will to fight will run out.

Fire ! And recharge!

Come on, move forward, come on!

To the doors! Faster !

Come on !

Fire !

Attention !

Come on, let's move forward!

Come on !

Come on, come on, quickly!

Stop. Here !

Bring rocks!

- Come on ! - They are there !

50 meters from the walls!

Ready ?

Fire !

Fire !

Listen,

we need volunteers. One man per family.

To go out and get food.

Who is in charge?

You, you, not you...

Young Giussano's hand did not rise.

- Or I didn't see her. - Leave him, Barozzi.

Otto and I lifted her up.

- Take one of us. - Alright.

Your brother does not have the courage,

you will go.

Nobody will say

that Raniero Giussano was afraid.

He said one per family. Let go.

Why stop him from proving his courage?

At the Sant Ambrogio bridge, in an hour and a half.

Everyone take a weapon!

To the walls !

- Do not go. - Don't tell me what to do!

He had chosen me!

Close the door !

Come back alive.

Fire ! Fire !

- Fire ! - Fire !

They should have come back. I fear the worst.

Make sure nothing happens to them.

Whatever happened,

I will be there for you.

- You will never be alone. - Do not touch me !

I don't need you.

I promised Rainero my heart, it won't change.

If he didn't come back,

I would rather die than be with you.

Listen

They're not shooting anymore.

- What ? - Quickly ! They are attacking us!

They attack. Men are attached to the towers.

They arrive !

- These are our men! - Look what they did!

What are you waiting for? Fire !

- Don't think about us! - Go ahead, shoot!

PULL ! PULL !

Alberto, what are we doing?

Give them the order to shoot

- before it's too late! - We can't do that!

I don't know !

What is this ? There's something about the towers.

Do not look.

Make them go! Come on !

Do not do that ! I beg you ! Stop!

- You can not. - Do it!

We can't shoot them.

Shoot, shoot!

Do not do that !

I'm going to shoot!

PULL ! Do not hesitate !

- Alberto, no! - Do not look !

PULL ! Please shoot!

Please no !

- Dont shoot ! - PULL !

Father !

You must come with us. Come on !

Come on !

PUSH !

Back !

They are going backwards!

The Germans give up!

- Be damned ! - Take her!

Poor child...

It's okay, go ahead.

- I killed my brother. - Cry, my son.

I killed Otto.

It's not your fault.

I killed Otto.

Father.

Feel that knife.

Feel it.

I'm going to go kill the man

who killed my brothers.

I'll plant it in his heart.

Leave me.

- Don't come any closer. - Too many women

- have lost their husbands. - Don't come any closer.

- I'm going to inspect the walls. - That's not true.

I know where you're going. I see it in your eyes.

Who are you going to see?

Don't tell me about these women who lose their husbands.

My brothers are dead.

Dead!

I tried to stop you.

Why did you reject me?

I was trying to protect you.

Oh yes ?

Are you protecting people by denying their feelings?

By making them suffer?

- You do not understand. - I know my feelings.

If you love me...

If you love me, don't leave.

Leave me !

- Where did you get this dagger? - You gave it to me.

A long time ago.

Are you the blacksmith's son?

How dare you ?

- You're going to die for this. You know. - I am not afraid.

There are hundreds in town

ready to finish what I didn't do.

In a few days,

your city will no longer exist.

And many will die.

I remember you.

I've often thought of you. You saved my life,

and ever since, you have been part of my destiny.

I should call the guards.

But I won't do it.

I'll let you go.

Your days are numbered,

old king.

Be damned.

- Alberto. - My father.

Where are your daughters?

I can not say anything.

Éléonore made me swear not to tell anyone.

Especially not to you.

The Germans are here!

The Germans are here!

Who opened the doors?

Clear the way!

- Master Guitelmo! - Stopped !

Too much blood has already been shed.

Master Guitelmo.

I went to your house. Tessa is not there.

Be careful, Siniscalco Barozzi.

Even dogs see themselves in the light of a torch.

This dog has fangs.

Keep these peasants away.

Take them!

I will kill you!

I will kill you, even if I have to die!

Milan has fallen.

And Milan opens the doors to Sicily for us.

Soon, Charlemagne's Empire will be yours.

This is what happens to those who rebel against the Emperor.

I order Milan to be erased from the face of the Earth.

None of its towers will rise again.

I also order

all Milanese to leave the city before sunset

and in different directions

so that none of them can call themselves "Milanese".

The name of Milan will be wiped off all maps.

Wherever you go, I will be by your side.

You see ? The Svevo has a dagger.

An armed king at a coronation... Never heard of it.

Why not ?

The dagger and the crown can take someone very far.

Especially if the Pope who crowns Barbarossa was chosen by him.

Red beard !

We will revive the ancient glory of Rome.

Rome is at your feet.

And it will soon be the turn of southern Italy.

- Guard, stop! - Yes, Majesty.

A man has fainted. Go see why.

- The plague, your Majesty. - My God, let's go.

Let's go, quickly.

In the name of Heaven, Lorenzo.

Look where we are.

We are forced to meet in secret,

like outlaws.

Our people are starving,

and they have to endure the arrogance of the Imperial Guards day after day.

And they raised taxes again.

We must react !

Silence !

- Silence. - No need to argue.

- What is going on ? - A secret meeting.

I see the nobility of Milan.

We were starving,

forced to leave Milan in 6 different directions.

Who is here ?

There's Negro... And Dell'Orto.

Barbarossa took everything from us.

Our home, our work.

Not to mention our pride and dignity.

We have to react.

Rebuild the city.

- Yes. - Rebuild it?

With whom ?

I only see resigned faces, who no longer want to fight.

And Barbarossa is more powerful every day.

He became Lord of Milan.

He is right !

He is the Lord because the Lombards wanted him to be.

Put away your swords!

He's one of us.

We can turn it around

if we stick together.

Listen

Listen to me.

I can still see the towers of Milan collapsing.

And the look of those who were forced to abandon their homes.

But I still feel the anger

and dismay of Barbarossa's allies.

Lombards, like us,

who fought against Milan

and regretted it when they saw their fate.

They understood that it was our quarrels

and rivalries

that allowed the Emperor to make slaves of us.

- Milan would have been destroyed despite... - That's not true!

It's true !

Imagine our strength if we had been united.

Think of how strong

our swords would be if we had united them.

You are nobles.

Act like one.

Do it.

This time, I'm joining you.

Whatever you have in mind.

This meeting is over.

Come ! Here we go.

It's me.

We had another meeting at the monastery.

We haven't made any decisions yet.

Do you live alone?

What is he doing here?

Where is your sister?

Where is Tessa?

- Tessa is dead. - What ?

What ?

What happened ?

Tessa is no longer in this world. No need to talk about it.

Master Guitelmo...

Let me take your daughter.

She can't live here alone.

I like being alone.

You have my permission.

Why did you leave me ?

- You hurt me. - I was scared.

And angry.

I am sorry.

You treated me like anyone else.

What a joy to see you!

You came back.

- Where did you find it? - Happy to see you.

- She lived alone in the forest. - I'm so happy !

The Imperial Guard!

- Come back. - Take them.

You know why we are here.

- Bastard. - Hold on.

A third of the harvest belongs to the Emperor.

- In the cart. - Right away, Excellency.

- And in there? - Take everything!

This is the blacksmith's workshop.

A workshop ?

With such a big lock?

I wonder...

The Imperial Guard

treats us like animals.

We let her do it too long.

It's over.

We want to be free.

Free. You understand ?

We are looking for other men

like us.

Ready to die for freedom.

We will form an army.

Help me. Hold it.

It could be our symbol.

An iron ring.

He could bring us all together.

This is a terrible omen, Your Majesty.

- The plague on this coronation day. - Don't be ridiculous!

The plague returned because of the heat.

She interrupted the meeting unannounced.

Amazing.

Unfortunately, Majesty,

everyone will say that it is a sign from God.

That the coronation is sacrilege.

That God is with Pope Alexander.

Stop!

You did see ? She interrupted the Chancellor.

God is with you, Frédéric.

He made you Emperor of Rome.

He wants you to be Emperor of the world.

Continue walking. You can't stop.

It's impossible, Majesty.

The plague is scary, we are losing control of the population.

- We have to leave. - He is right.

- It's true. - We have to leave.

All right.

Tell your men we're leaving.

We're going home.

- That's it. - Eugenie!

Get ready.

That's a lot of rings. Who is supposed to wear them?

There are new fingers here.

You are wrong, my friend.

There will be plenty of fingers.

I've been thinking about it for several years.

The Imperial Guard uses fear and death

to divide and control us.

We are all afraid.

But what if we could

transform...

this fear and use it...

as a force that would unite us.

We could be invincible.

What do we have to lose? The death ?

The death.

Death in the Imperial Guard.

Let them die.

Let's become the "Company of Death".

The “Death Company”?

It's a good idea.

- The “Company of Death”. - Die for freedom.

Die for freedom.

Death and freedom, my friend.

One day you will be in serious trouble.

You remember me ?

What are you doing here ?

Tired of playing?

I told you, it's impossible.

I already do enough.

This prison is full of trash. It won't be seen.

Those two there.

Not these. They almost killed two guards.

- Choose others. - I want these.

Who is it ?

Who are you ?

Citizens, tired of making mistakes.

- So what ? - Break it.

And this one.

The humiliation that Milan has suffered in recent years

has become intolerable.

Breach will be at your side in your fight against the Emperor.

And to rebuild Milan.

We, the people of Mantua, will not just observe.

You know what the Emperor's response will be.

He is right.

People will live in fear of reprisals.

And what

will Lodi and Pavie do?

This is what we're going to do.

We will stay together,

united.

With the Lombard League.

We will not wait for Barbarossa's punishment.

An army becomes invincible with a strong heart,

and even more so with a wounded heart.

Go home,

ask the young people if they want to live like this.

You know what they will say. Do you know ?

Better dead than slaves!

Milan Death Company.

- From Bergamo. - From Breach.

From Mantua.

Barbarossa is trampling our land.

It has always belonged to the Lombards.

We, soldiers of the Death Company,

swear to reclaim our land,

to fight the Emperor,

and to never turn our backs on the enemy.

To unite all the cities in a league,

and to defend the most precious of our possessions.

Freedom.

Freedom !

It's you. Between.

My God, Éléonore!

I'm so happy.

I'm so happy to see you.

I can not believe it.

Come, sit down.

What brings you here?

Alberto and many young people have abandoned their homes,

others are hiding in the woods.

Still others will join them.

They gave themselves a name.

The Death Company.

The Death Company.

This name makes me think of damnation.

- What are you talking about ? - Hundreds of young men.

They want to give Milan his freedom.

You will be able to come home soon.

Do you really think I could go back?

Yes, I believe in it.

They are ready for anything. Even to die.

Are you afraid for Alberto?

Do you still love him?

And he loves me.

He asked me to marry him.

- But I saw... - Forget your visions.

Listen to your heart.

You must listen to your heart.

Go tell him you accept.

At least...

one of us has the right to happiness.

Get it!

Come on, stop him!

Stand back, it's a woman! She is armed!

What are you doing here ?

Give me the knife.

Give me that knife!

Friends of the Death Company.

You see ? We are growing.

What were you doing on horseback?

- I was going home. - Oh?

- Milan is miles away. - So what ?

- Leave me ! - Leave us.

Listen to me.

We will have to face Barbarossa.

Some will die.

Marry me.

NOW.

Stop running away!

Why don't you understand?

The world we knew no longer exists.

Everything changed.

All.

I love you.

Open!

Open, the Emperor has sent us.

This is a cloister. You have no right to enter.

Open the door, Mother.

My right comes straight from the Emperor.

- You cannot enter. - Open.

What is it ? What did I do ?

What is going on ?

- SO ? - Go ahead, we're going to have fun.

Search everywhere.

- My God... - What is it?

Everywhere !

They are all the same.

But beneath these clothes...

there may be beauty hidden.

Mother Superior!

Where are you ?

- My mother ? - I am here.

Tell them to take off their veils.

I beg you, in the name of the Lord...

What you are asking is sacrilege.

Do it or I will.

Kill me if you want, but don't ask for that.

As you want.

And

this one ?

The quality is not there.

That one !

This one's not bad.

With long hair she would look pretty.

And there?

Look at him.

And this one ?

She is very beautiful, sir.

Really pretty.

It's you ?

I prayed for this moment.

What do you want me to do?

Tell me.

Anything.

Stop her!

Stop her!

Wait !

Stop, don't do this.

Do not do that.

Do not do that.

I beg you.

No...

I beg you.

I love you.

I love you with all my heart.

More than I've ever loved.

Stay with me...I will change.

I will do whatever you want. I beg you.

Do not leave me.

Please.

Please... Give

me your hand.

Give me your...

I loved him.

I loved her...

She slit his throat!

Stop her! She's a witch!

No, let go!

You will pay for it, witch.

You will go to the stake!

What is going on ?

- Éléonore planted Barozzi - Calm down.

- in the throat. - Where is she ?

Barozzi takes her to Alexandria,

to Barbarossa's camp.

He wants it burned!

Don't go there, Alberto!

Do not go !

Take him down.

Calm down.

Let me go !

Let me go !

This is what Barozzi wants.

They will kill you!

Hold it.

Leave me, leave me!

Be cursed!

Let me go !

Get out !

Go look elsewhere! Get out !

Come in, witch!

I survived.

You won't be so lucky.

I'm coming to see you burn.

Bad news.

It has been under siege for weeks.

- How is the tunnel progressing? - Majesty,

we can only dig during attacks to cover the noise.

And this rain is not helping us.

Speed ​​up digging.

The rivers surrounding the city are high.

If they overflowed, our camp would be flooded.

Our men are tired. Rain and mud wipe out our troops.

Silence !

We will enter the city before dawn. Get the tunnel ready.

Have no fear. The door...

I'm not afraid!

She's there.

She's here...

- Open the door. - But, your Highness...

Open, it's an order!

- Do it. - Yes Madam.

Close the door.

You know who I am ?

You must be very important.

You give orders to the guards.

I wanted to see the brave woman who slit the throat

of an Imperial envoy.

Next time I won't shake.

There won't be a next one.

Tell me...

Why did you do it?

He killed my sister.

And because of him, my husband is risking his life.

What do you mean ?

Why is he in danger?

What do you have on your arm?

I was hit by lightning.

And you're not dead?

What are you ?

A witch ?

A witch !

Get me out of here!

Get me out!

Open this door! Get me out!

She's a witch! I don't want to stay there!

Shut up, stay there!

- Lord... - They don't have a chance.

The fakes are the size of the riders.

Alright.

Silence, silence...

Wait... Get ready.

Everything seems peaceful.

- Get out! - Follow the tunnel!

Come on, everyone out!

The Germans are attacking! They built a tunnel!

Your Highness, we have been spotted.

They closed the tunnel!

Burn all our war machines.

We are retreating.

Cursed Alexandria!

I'll be back !

We retreat towards Pavia.

They are loyal to us.

We will stay there for a while.

You should do one thing.

Send messengers to your cousin Henry the Lion.

You need new troops. He cannot refuse it to you.

Henri is greedy for land.

It's been too long since we left.

It's a good idea.

Let's do it. I'm going to get ready.

One more thing before we go.

Forgive this Milanese peasant woman.

Why do you care about her?

This woman has extraordinary powers.

They say she's a witch.

She bears the mark left by lightning on her arm.

What are you afraid of ?

The lightning spared her. Don't challenge the sky.

Forgive him.

If you burn it, it will bring you bad luck.

This woman must be punished.

If we burn her,

she will be happy to die.

Get ready.

How are you, cousin?

Where is the army you promised me?

Look at me, Majesty.

I am 46 years old and I am nothing but pain.

I no longer have the means to wage war.

I'm much older than you,

and I still want to fight for the Empire.

Your Majesty, I am also ready.

This is what many men can afford.

It's yours, Highness.

- This is my contribution to your cause. - Stop!

You know that the Emperor does not need money

but soldiers, an army!

You should be ashamed !

He gave you Saxony and Bavaria.

He defended you against the Princes who plotted against you.

And now that the Emperor

asks you for help,

you give him these miserable coins?

What confidence!

My cousin should be worried about his wife

talking like a man.

We call you Henry the Lion.

But you're useless.

Let's go!

It's finish. Your time has come, witch!

- I told you to wait! - Sorry, Excellency.

I received an order from the Empress.

It doesn't matter, as long as it burns.

Burn.

Company of Death!

We came together because we share the same dream.

A dream of freedom.

Freedom is a birthright.

It was taken from us.

It was taken from us by manipulating us,

by separating us,

by dividing us through fear.

This common dream can unite us.

We can take back our land

to cultivate it and raise our families

in peace!

Let's not be afraid of tomorrow,

because living one day in total freedom

means more than 100 days of slavery!

We will walk together!

Freedom !

Stop!

Charge!

Look. The men of the league.

My God...

What's happening?

Stay in line, gentlemen.

Online.

They saw the army. They are afraid to attack.

I do not like it. I don't like this move.

Your Highness,

the Milanese army has taken up position 3 km from here.

- On the plain. Do you see them? - They are stupid.

We will know.

Majesty, we only saw their cavalry,

we did not see their infantry.

First we cripple their cavalry,

then their infantry will fall to pieces.

Every night I thank God for giving me a wife

like you waiting for me.

I must be by your side.

You need to find the children.

Take the Empress to Pavia.

It's war, my love.

Charge!

Online, gentlemen.

Keep your seats.

Not yet. Hold.

Wait !

Not yet !

NOW !

NOW !

Come on !

Charge forward!

And now ?

False in the air!

Continue, forward!

Forward, forward, don't stop!

Attack!

To attack !

You !

Prepare to find your witch in hell!

Look at me, look at me!

I want you to see me when I die.

Please don't kill me...

Because you killed him... Because you made me suffer...

For the pain you caused my family.

- I have money. - For my people!

Don't kill me... Don't kill me...

- I'm begging you. - And for Tessa!

And for my brothers.

And this... Look at me. This is for my wife.

For my wife.

Look at me !

Be damned !

The Emperor's horse.

I can see it's his horse. Where is he ?

I don't know. He can't be far away.

It's certain.

- I want to see his body. - Barbarossa is dead.

Give me the dagger.

I miss her.

Nothing...

Nothing...

will make you Éléonore

If she were here,

she would want you to be happy.

You got what you wanted.

You have given freedom to your people!

Come quickly !

Look at.

It's you...

You're alive.

You are alive !

What are you doing here ?

The empress... She saved my life...

They burned another woman in my place.

You are alive.

I love you.

Freedom.

Freedom !

RED BEARD
