Someone your enemies fear.

It's my will that you Take Maria of Burgundy for a wife. 8th

War is leading the others. We happy Austrians.

From now on everything belongs here the French crown.

You have to claim your rights. The emperor wants money from you.

For the dubious pleasure to marry his son?

You will marry Mary of Burgundy.

And if I choose France?

Maximilian needs you. He is nothing without our money.

And you also need him urgently, because he will be your sword.

My mistress sends me.

Then is Mary of Burgundy really that beautiful?

Still you can choose who you want to be.

A princess without power - or the future Empress.

(dark music)

WIENER NEUSTADT. Seat of the Roman German Emperor.

(Voices, beats on iron)

(Neigh)

Let's ride along there, we need two days to Melk,

two weeks to Cologne and from there four days to Burgundy.

We ride to Pernitz.

Then to Melk and from there on.

It takes much longer over the Hohe Wand.

In Baden was seen the black army,

also the treidlers of the Danube say it was not safe there.

The Emperor wishes to speak to you.

Flour, beans, pickled Pork, 140 loaf of cheese,

150 cords of garlic, honey, Raisins, wine ...

What are you going to do? A binge?

We need provisions.

You will be on the journey with the content,

what you find locally.

And if there is nothing?

Then you will go hunting, Polheim.

You do that so much.

(Steps)

Matthias Corvinus will Marry Beatrix of Aragón,

the daughter of the King of Naples.

How old is she? -20

After all.

The first woman was 12, like my sister.

She died at 15, a birth tore her.

We will celebrate, that you are spared.

Matthias Corvinus has us declared war.

He is already in Styria What do you want to celebrate?

Your downfall?

I'm glad for you.

This can be the end for us.

Go now, I have to talk to your brother.

Mr. Fugge of the Lily wants you submit a proposal.

Maximilian of Austria, You are planning to travel to Burgundy

and to woo the Duchess.

I want to help you.

With 100 mounted, including their weapons, armor and horses.

For your protection.

And I want to give you something.

A gift.

In this armor, with this sword, in those clothes,

become even the noblest knights Flanders fading next to you.

You want to give that to me?

And 100 mounted on top of that?

You are a merchant.

Yes, Your Highness.

A merchant who is so generous will soon be beggars.

A man who soon became ruler will be over Burgundy,

you can give a lot - in the knowledge, that you get it back twice.

Then it's a loan.

No, it's not a loan, but a gift.

In the hope that you too give me something,

later, when the time is right.

So you want that I let burgundy bleed out

and give you some of that blood.

We can all use fresh blood.

Mary of Burgundy is in distress, I'm not waiting for 100 men.

You are already here. - They camp outside the city.

Take any help, which you can get hold of.

Otherwise you will never reach Ghent.

I should sell my soul.

To a dealer?

All soil is subject to Austria.

But to control this soil,

do you need money and powerful allies.

That's the only way to bring her to her knees.

As you did, father?

It never happened to me

a Burgundian princess to take a wife.

You have to reach Burgundy.

Otherwise we are lost.

And she too.

(dark music)

(dark music)

(To breathe)

(soft moaning)

(soft moaning)

They stink.

Yes.

We all stink.

Each of these three doctors prophesied the health of your brother.

Did you really believe that?

No. - And why not?

Because they can not do anything.

And why did they prophesy, to heal your brother?

Because they hoped for a miracle.

And that they are overflowing with gold.

Excessive desire is the enemy human happiness.

And the belief to be able to achieve something

that exceeds mortality.

Come over!

They are waiting, Your Majesty.

For hours.

His Majesty Louis XI., King of France.

His Royal Highness, the Dauphin of France.

So, what do you want?

Your Majesty, we ask around the mortal remains

of the Duke of Burgundy.

And his helmet.

Mary of Burgundy, our Lady, mourns for her father.

She wants to finally take him to the grave.

Then you are Guillaume Hugonet, the chancellor of Burgundy.

He is Hugonet.

This is Guy de Brimeu,

Count of Megen.

The Duchess's Advisor.

Are they smart men?

Hm, tolerable.

Why do not they know then who owe them obedience?

Tell them.

The Duchy is Burgundy a male loan.

It can only be from father to son pass.

Is Maria of Burgundy a man?

No.

No.

By law, the fief falls back to the French crown.

Bow to your new master,

the king of France.

The helmet,

she can have him,

Mary of Burgundy - if she wants.

But not without its content.

Us.

We are quite ready to take her to wife

and also to forgive her

for their hostility to France.

We reject their misguided Soul the right way.

Mary of Burgundy has the choice:

She marries my son and becomes Queen of France

or she will lose everything, Land and power.

We take what is ours. Are you saying that?

(Quiet music)

(Birds scream.)

(serious music)

So.

You want to make rules for me, Coppenhole ?!

The Great Council wants to help you Highness.

By compulsion to receive you?

You have to get married.

Whom?

You? - no.

We have decided for Charles of Valois,

the Dauphin of France.

You have decided?

The Council of Citizens supports the administration of the country.

According to Great Privilege, signed by you.

I'm supposed to be the Dauphin marry from France.

That's our recommendation. - France is our mortal enemy.

The Dauphin a little child and an idiot.

A permanent war with France would be our ruin.

Likewise, if the Emperor's son us with taxes

for his miserable Austria.

France guarantees peace and good business.

The Great Privilege states

that your only with approval The States General may marry.

We agree to a marriage with Maximilian not from Austria.

A marriage with the Dauphin, however we would welcome.

We expect an early reply, Your Highness.

(Quiet music)

Your father would have had him beheaded.

Yes.

And my grandfather forced the councilmen,

at the conquest of Ghent to ask for mercy.

They hate us. - Just like us.

What can I do?

You can do the contract still ripping apart.

Yes, in the air it's made of.

(Steps)

Highness!

The French, they murder and burn in Picardy!

What? - All farmers have fled.

Come and see for yourself!

Accompany the Duchess!

(restless music)

(Voices)

Get doctors out of the infirmary.

And bring bread from the farm kitchen.

For all.

We can do it in the church.

(Quiet music)

That's exactly what he wants.

Who? - King Ludwig.

You should feel responsible for this misery.

Because you do not submit to him. And? Am I not that?

What?

No.

The web of this spider will get closer every day.

Make sure that you do not get caught up in it.

(Quiet music)

It is getting smaller, your country.

Burgundy needs a duke You should submit.

Add me? About you ?!

You would obey me quickly.

Mr. von Egmond,

I warn you!

I hated your father,

I love you.

(dark music)

(sad music)

(Quiet music)

(The door creaks.)

(The door is closed.)

(slow steps)

What do you want?

Say goodbye.

That which was between us, stays here.

Forever. - Stop it!

I know you!

I know who you are and what is important to you.

I do not belong. - But.

No. No. - You do that.

You only love one,

yourself.

That does not make it any easier.

You could be my mistress.

Only the French have mistresses.

And I certainly will not be your whore.

You can not have everything.

Farewell.

(dark music)

(The door closes.)

(Cooing a pigeon)

(Coo)

(Flutter)

(carried music)

(Steps)

It's time.

You get my sword and this tapestry,

if I do not survive the journey.

(carried music)

My will.

(moving music)

(calm, exciting music)

How much is he worth, the tapestry?

How much?

If I bite the grass, can you get my sword too?

And my jerkin, so you always can snoop on it.

I could just ride off, somewhere.

Good, do it!

Sadly, it's not possible, I am the son of the Emperor.

Yes.

Many would like to be like you or me.

And you know why?

Because it is better.

Much better, despite everything!

I'll take care of you, my smart Polheim.

And me, you idiot.

Maximilian of Austria is broken up.

And Picardy? - Is ours.

In the east we besiege Beaune.

Dijon is free Sworn allegiance.

When will you travel? - Even today.

We have someone in Austria?

Yes. - Good.

Le Daim will give you something for him.

Where does Philippe de Commynes ride?

He never rides, he hates horses.

He takes the boat to Ghent.

And why?

He will stir up the citizens there. - What for?

So that Mary of Burgundy becomes your wife.

This is what Venetian glassblowers have made.

In Murano.

The blade is poisoned. You poke them in the flesh,

give her a jerk, and she breaks off.

Because she is so fine no blood comes out.

Nobody will suspect what Maximilian died of,

because you do not see a wound.

After your failure Do you choose finer methods?

Was not it your order,

that Mary of Burgundy chooses another?

She will.

(dark music)

(Neigh)

(Voices)

This is old and rock hard.

We have no fresh, there is no grain and no miller.

We would have more provisions should take.

Then we would need more wagon and would be even slower.

It has to be like that.

Over there are Hungarians. Marauders probably.

Our people are driving them out.

(Polheim) Are we going? - There is a miasma in the forest,

the bad haze - take that.

That's good against the danger.

You can have that, I have more.

From one who fighting for the Archbishop of Neuss.

Did you kill him?

I? No. He.

And you think that protects him now?

Like the others?

The Lord loves the stupid that's why there are so many.

Thanks anyway.

But I have this here.

(Quiet music)

(weird music)

(thoughtful music)

We could really destroy him, once and for all.

Whom?

Matthias Corvinus.

Do not you want to recruit mercenaries? and throw him out of the country?

Soon you will have enough money for it.

Are you a flea?

My father has you to me put in the ear, I know that!

It itches me a long time.

Do not be a hero! Marry Maria, take her money!

Fight the Hungarians, but not yourself, buy mercenaries!

Very good, Polheim.

You think I do not have my own opinion?

No idea. Did you? - Does not it matter?

I am only your chamberlain.

You want everyone to say what you want to hear.

Do you think someone is telling you the truth?

You certainly do not. - Yes, right now.

Your empire is empty, nobody lives in it.

We have been riding for days. In how many Homesteads were the fields ordered?

All have fled or died.

And those protected by God dying of hunger.

I would like you to change that.

Even if that were actions, that might please your father.

From me crawl in his ass, others are more worried!

You like to fight so much!

Maybe you'll manage someday,

to defeat you and your distrust!

(slow steps)

(scared) Ha! - Sch, sch.

I thought, Virgin Mary, how can I take you to wife.

(Battle noises)

Lord of Egmond, leave me!

Let me!

(She gasps.) You're welcome!

(She gasps.)

Do not fight back!

Let me!

Nobody can see you!

Do you understand?!

Yes.

Hurry up!

(driving music)

Oh my God!

He was suddenly there, in my bed.

It is good. He has to go.

But he is ... - No one cares.

See if the air is clean!

Feelings you can have later.

Help me!

Help me!

(strained panting)

Are you? - I can not do this!

We have to tell the truth. - Listen!

He is the first of you killed and not the last!

Get used to it, if you want to rule.

This one has it at least earned! Go on! Come on!

Where am I?

(Polheim) In Cologne.

You have been feverish for days.

Did I ... Did I ...?

(a man) That's in God's hands.

Seven days, Your Highness.

So long did he need to create the earth.

And that's how long it takes until it is decided

whom he punishes with the Black Death.

I will get you now to the vein, Your Highness.

(Clinking of metal)

(disturbing music)

(Puffing)

(dark music)

(Puffing)

(Snorting)

How is my son?

He may have infected with the plague.

He lives?

When I started riding already. But the fever was high.

A famous doctor from Cologne is with him - every day.

Did you see Hungary?

On road.

Yes.

Good.

Matthias Corvinus offers us

to withdraw his black army and not to invade.

For four years.

As?

In return, he demands

that we call him King of Bohemia recognize,

and he wants 100,000 guilders War reparations.

The Hungarians are devastating our country and demand compensation?

Do we have a choice?

We do not own 100,000, Majesty.

But the first 50,000.

And then we'll see.

The change, Mr. Fugger exhibited for the wedding,

where is the?

This money is for your son certainly, Your Majesty.

Does he still need it?

How is he?

He is sick. - As?

Quite.

Will he be healthy again?

Maybe.

I can not say it.

Give him that.

Tell him I carry it on my chest since he left.

And I dry my tears with it.

Good.

(Voices in the background)

(dark music)

(distant neighing)

Adolf von Egmond is dead.

From whom?

We have a guess but no evidence.

We could still process. - Not necessary.

We should have gotten rid of him anyway.

We proceed differently.

(dark music)

(from inside) Who is there?

Open the door in the name the States General!

Monsieur Hugonet.

What have you done in France?

What do you mean by that?

What is?!

(restless music)

Let me go!

Riffraff!

(dark music)

(To cough)

(Coughing and wheezing)

(Sob)

Thousands have fled.

And more every day.

You have nothing.

Only the hope that it is better here.

To practice charity, is our duty.

But who pays?

The food, clothing and accommodation.

All who feel better.

Your subjects are getting restless.

The citizens do not want strangers.

(Groaning, sobbing)

We make it!

(Quiet music)

(Sobbing, moaning)

(Margareta) What would be your advice?

You have to negotiate with King Ludwig.

Before us our own citizens hunt out of town.

Also the Duchy of Geldern wants to declare war on us.

Because of Adolf von Egmond? - They think we were.

(A door will open.)

(Steps)

Highness.

What's this?

An arrangement.

That you, Guy de Brimeu,

You before the States General to answer for.

For what? - High treason.

We know that his highness pacted with France.

Just like Monsieur Hugonet.

But that is absurd! - There is a witness.

Monsieur de Commynes.

I bring you the greetings His Majesty and a present.

As a sign of his goodwill.

King Ludwig assures you his affection.

And he offers you far more than his love.

He offers you protection.

What shoud that?

First he presses me, then my country?

You are to blame for the misery of these people!

Would you have listened to us and France elected,

would not this suffering be. Take him off!

Let him go! - This is not a hospital!

Please, Mr. Coppenhole!

Clear the camp! - No, leave her!

Now! - Leave her alone!

(Child cries)

Stop! Immediately!

So many dead and injured because of you.

(Voices, cries of children)

(dramatic music)

(Quiet music)

(soft, trembling breathing)

I will stay here for a while.

But then I come to you, my children.

(Creaking of the wooden bench)

(Wheezing)

(startled) Oh god! - Ah ...

Louis! (Groan)

Oh my God!

Louis!

(restless music)

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

(Man) Get a doctor! Go on!

Mother!

Mother, what is it?

Your father...

He is...

(excited breathing)

I will take care of you, if father happens something.

What? - Like a second mother.

I'll keep an eye on you, you freak.

(strained moaning)

(sad music)

(serious music)

Guy de Brimeu, Count of Megen.

Monsieur Hugonet.

You are charged To have betrayed Mary of Burgundy

by calling the king of France have made the oath of allegiance.

We are Burgundy faithful, Everyone knows that.

Then you are not before King Ludwig dropped to his knees

and have paid homage to him so as your new master?

There is a witness - come forward!

(Brimeu) De Commynes!

You know we're forced to do that were - by force.

Answer the question:

Are you before the French king? dropped to his knees -

A traitor accuses me of high treason.

(dark music)

Let me go!

You dare to lay hands on the count!

Yes or no?

You are pacting with France, not me!

(Pained outcry)

Stop, leave it!

(tense breathing)

Ah...

I'll ask you the question again.

That's a farce, Coppenhole!

(shuddering breathing)

Stop it!

(Cry)

He is innocent!

You know that!

Yes? And who is guilty then?

The citizens of Flanders are since Decades subjugated by Burgundy.

Either you bow to France, or the two will die,

because they bowed to France.

(Groan) (softly) Help!

(suppressed scream)

Ah...

Stop! - What?

I will do what the Great Council demands!

I marry the Dauphin.

And now let her go!

Let her go, please!

(Screaming, murmuring)

Do you think I'll leave you? To give orders?!

No! No! Let me!

No! No!

What is your value without your father?

Without a husband.

Nothing!

(Sword stroke)

(startled lute)

(sad music with singing)

(sad music with singing)

(Steps)

Our guards are back here.

I know.

The few who still faithfully serve me.

Bring the letter to Maximilian Austria, if he survived.

So he knows why I can not help it.

"Maximilian, most serene Archduke of Austria. "

"My good chancellor Hugonet and the Count of Megen are dead. "

"The great council forces me to take the Dauphin to the man

- in your place. "

"I have no choice."

"I am too weak, to fight back. "

"The dice of God are falling not always right. "

"The thought of what is possible consoled me. "

"I'll be in a few days traveling to France. "

"Farewell."

"Maria."

(Quiet music)

Mary of Burgundy awaits no answer from you.

She only asks you to pray for her good.

When does your mistress leave?

Soon.

Just like me.

We still ride today.

Where?

To Burgundy! Do you think I'll let that happen ?!

That will not do.

You are denied the exit.

What?!

The people of Cologne have our men houses,

they hanged and drunk, nobody paid.

(shuddering breathing)

Is Master Rudolfer back?

Since yesterday.

Get me my best clothes.

Tell the councilors that the son the Emperor wishes to speak to her.

(Clatter of armor and swords)

You know why I'm here.

And who I am.

Your future emperor.

It is God's will, that I am your safe ground.

And you trample on this ground?

By locking me up in your city?

We only ask for what we are entitled to.

Your men have a lot of trouble.

In the city

and also outside the farmers.

You said, as if every day was your last.

Do not I have you the change? given by Mr. Fugger?

Over 50,000 guilders?

Yes.

You have, Your Highness.

Is not that enough?

That would be more than enough.

The change is unfortunately not covered.

The emperor redeemed him himself.

And up to the last cruiser.

Is that true?

Yes I think so.

Because of the Hungarians.

And it was said that you would die soon.

We have a list -

with the debts you have in Cologne.

When they are paid, can you go where you want.

The bloodletting and your quarters Please leave the gaffs.

He who is so poor must marry richly.

(Laughter)

Are you making me an application you bastard?

Or do you think you are stronger ?!

Come over!

(Sounds of swords)

We could be the citizens here take as hostages and set off.

No, we will retire.

Why?

I have to think.

What's happening?

Since when is he thinking?

(Quiet music)

(Creaking of the soil)

Maximilian!

What should we do?

Fight.

So let's try the outbreak.

The ten confidants against a whole city?

Want to wait for the Dauphin the Duchess forces marriage?

No.

You will marry her.

What?

I am often stupid

and suspicious -

wrongly.

But in this case, I know what I'm doing

and to whom I entrust my fate.

(Quiet music)

(startled sound)

You travel to Ghent today and give this to your mistress.

In order to take that, I would need hands.

But they cover what you should not see.

In a bathhouse, all are naked.

It is very important.

Our happiness depends on it.

I did not know, that today is a fair!

I should accompany you. - Out!

A jug of beer and a piece of roast.

What are you doing?

To bathe.

We will ride for four days and sleep in a chamber for two -

or wherever.

So do not dress like that.

(He sighs in a relaxed mood.)

(Quiet music)

Father is in a hurry now.

He also married me.

By decree, with the Duke of Orléans.

It was his second strike in a year.

Maybe God will soon bring him to him.

After my hemorrhage I can certainly no longer give birth to children.

The line from Orléans will be fine ends in my dry lap.

Your children will rule undisturbed.

If you can do that.

And now go, freak, Father wants to talk to you.

Same freak!

Yes.

We are both royal failures.

(Crackle of fire)

(faint sounds of the king)

(weak sounds)

(energetic sound)

(heavy breathing)

I ...

I ... come ...

(He moans.)

Mary of Burgundy.

De Commynes brings you here.

You will see her in the cathedral Married to Saint-Gatien.

You ride her with a retinue,

to the border.

And then you accompany her to Tours.

You...

.. have to ... learn a lot.

Your Highness?

Please follow me.

(Quiet music)

Highness.

His most Christian majesty hopes

that you understand what the woman is.

Although you are still too young to accomplish.

But the knowledge is a child experience.

(The door is closed.)

(Quiet music)

(short wheezing)

(serious music)

(soft rippling)

(slow music, animal sounds)

(distant voices)

(Neigh)

(Quiet music)

(gentle music)

Hungry?

(He sighs.)

I saw him once.

Karl the Bold.

Years ago in Trier on the Fürstentag.

He was very rich, proud.

Very warlike.

Is your mistress too?

She is a woman.

Women are modest and gentle.

Just like you?

We fight against men,

they believe they can take everything.

Maximilian is not like that.

He will never let that your mistress is unhappy.

And how does he want to do that?

He will give her every wish to read from the eyes,

they protect and wait.

What?

That she wants him too.

Just like you?

The in the bathhouse, the ...

...I'm sorry, I did not think anything of it.

The body is just a shell, he flowers and he passes away.

It's your soul I want to get to know.

Do you think your swollen ones Speeches impress me?

Hm? - You will not sleep here.

I'm not sleeping, I'm lying.

Lie down somewhere else! - Why?

Because I do not trust your soul.

You do not know her at all. - And so I get to know her ?!

You have to start somewhere.

Nothing turns into nothing.

It always needs a germ.

Did that happen to you?

I think your soul ...

...is beautiful.

Take your hand away, or I'll scream.

I'll just leave her on yours, like that.

(Quiet music)

May I?

That's not my hand.

I know.

(Quiet music)

(driving music)

(driving music)

Highness.

Maximilian of Austria ask you to read this.

Who is he? - That's in the letter.

"Maria, most serene Duchess from Burgundy. "

"Our enemies seek to to destroy us. "

"I am a prisoner of the citizens from Cologne."

"That's why I send Wolf von Polheim, my treasurer. "

"May he be the spark, which animates our hopes

and all chains burst. "

Highness.

Maximilian sends me, to turn your fate.

Unfortunately you are late, sir from Polheim. We leave soon.

Where?

After Amiens, where we meet Charles, the Dauphin of France.

Can the dauphin marry a woman, who already has a husband?

Maximilian of Austria has ordered

that the bond of marriage between you and it's closed today.

Still today? - Yes.

And where is he?

In Cologne.

It is his declared will that I represent him.

Per procuration. - I beg your pardon?

As his deputy, before God and the law.

It is possible, Your Highness, from the point of view of jurisprudence.

But it would be the contract break with the States General.

Jan Coppenhole never tolerates this.

The archduke becomes Gent to stand in his place.

With his army.

But he has no money.

Unfortunately. - What does he want to pay the men for?

With your money.

He needs 100,000 guilders.

To settle his debts and to save you.

He wants to save us with our money?

My master must become a mercenary.

No one will resist the Emperor's son,

the one with a force in Ghent.

Then is it true?

He is just out for our money?

Money is the breath of war.

He needs 100,000.

Yes.

We also accept one Bill of exchange, payable on sight.

Good.

What?

Dear daring, as tolerate on knees.

If he succeeds, he is worth the money.

If Burgundy goes down and France wins,

Cologne can with the Exchange letter wiping out the asses.

Hollow Bishop de Clugny here!

Come!

(Quiet music)

You are the salt of the earth,

You are the light of the world.

Amen.
