You will do all the necessary preparations.

I received proof, the Gracious Lord showed me the way.

We will meet the prisoner together. And free him.

I knew that you would show common sense.

The crew is ready. I myself take him to the ship.

He must remain in France.

But tell me, for God's sakes, how can we ensure his freedom?

There is only one way to end this.

You're out of your mind.

We are talking about our flesh and blood.

And every sigh of his - our curse.

In that case, say it directly.

You need to call things by their proper names.

This is murder.

We must protect what we have created.

While he is alive, the church has the means to destroy us.

And you call this justice?

He has already sacrificed his life for us.

He fulfilled his duty and deserved freedom.

The Lord gave his fate into our hands.

But we must carry this cross together.

You are much more alike than you think.

We want to share this moment with you.

As would be done in a real family.

I'm glad to see you both.

We must fulfil this duty together.

In this case...

I drink for my sons.

I thought I would never see the sunlight again.

The mask was my everyday curse.

And at night I only prayed that a dream come.

And now...

finally...

I will be free.

I am grateful to you for this.

Thank you, my sons.

There is a time to love

and a time to hate.

And now it's time

Go ahead without the burden of the past behind.

The nation is divided, and our people are disunited.

The time has come to unite our subjects once and for all.

Royal Wedding

enliven the people.

And France will unite again

and become a family.

At the moment, the most important thing for me is the security of the people.

I have to think first of all about France.

Does His Majesty want to strengthen the borders?

Emperor Leopold disposed of with the Ottomans, as we feared.

And now, no doubt, he will again aim at Luxembourg.

In that case, we will seize it before Leopold's arrival.

We will strike at them with all might.

Is there news about our Protestant forgers?

At the moment we do not have any exact evidence, sir.

In that case, look for it better.

Meanwhile, I'm going to cancel the Edict of Nantes.

But...

it was adopted to protect the beliefs of all citizens.

We have already shown tolerance for traitors to the Huguenots.

I would like to warn His Majesty of such radical measures.

I insist on this as far as my position allows.

France is a Catholic country.

How can you call yourself a family,

if we are not united by one faith?

Religion divides us, but also thanks to it we will unite again.

Under one faith, one law

and one king.

What the hell is going on here?

Decided to teach a lesson to my brother.

We will not see him here again.

All the better!

So, that's enough! Stop it!

Listen, I'm serious. I'm ready to fight.

If you want to kindle a fire, help me to stir up trouble.

So that we all finish, like poor Monsieur Golovin? - It is not your fault.

Of course, it's to blame.

"And I have to live with this. "No, stop, people need you.

Did not you say that you need to unite to protect yourself?

I think I was wrong.

Welcome to the circle of your elect, Monsieur de Pans.

Now you are a nobleman.

I'm sure you will feel at home.

You are waited here for great success, my dear Guillaume.

Honestly, I want to pinch myself.

I can not believe that this is all true.

I'd like to warn you...

To enjoy life in Versailles, it is better to forget about your principles.

We all make our sacrifices in order to become a part of it.

Yes, I hope it's worth it.

It all depends on which side to look at.

You had to give up your faith.

Is not it?

Before I got here, I was a soldier and a merchant.

And look where I am now.

Do not you regret anything?

We are doing everything to survive.

Any news about troublemakers from Paris?

The issue with the printer is settled.

Once and for all.

Good.

Continue to follow the order in the streets.

I know that you were there last night.

The prisoner was undoubtedly very close to the king.

The poor man chose to settle his life.

And took his story with him.

About him no longer have to say.

Clear?

Jeanne?

You must read it.

"He can not do this. "What is it?

All Protestants must renounce their faith,

or to suffer from the consequences of failure.

Does the king really think that you can challenge the history?

I'm not sure I understand you, madam.

Nantes edict was a declaration of humanism.

He wants to return to the Middle Ages?

The king unites France, making it a Catholic state.

Everyone knows that you can not make an omelette,

without breaking eggs.

He seeks to dispose not only of our bodies, but also souls?

The king will do everything necessary.

And the people will be grateful to him.

In this case, I feel sorry for the people.

In the name of tranquillity in the palace

all Protestants from now on

should not leave their quarters.

This is the king's order.

Is it necessary to sneak up like this?

Yes, especially when you track a rat.

Very funny.

Be content with your rude jokes and leave wit

to those who understand something about it.

I think you are close to some noble Protestants.

Maybe.

But I'm a faithful Catholic.

With the reputation of the offender rules.

And, perhaps, with a talent for falsification.

Absolute nonsense.

Where did your wit go?

And where did your conscience go?

Be kind not to leave the palace.

Princess Isabella... Welcome, dear cousin.

Good. My father gave me all the necessary documents.

But I need an exhaustive list of my duties,

as well as recommendations regarding the wardrobe.

You will help me, will not you?

I think we will quickly find a common language.

I have to admit, I'm a little worried

waiting for a meeting with the king.

I do not at all doubt,

that you will be a pleasant surprise for him.

This is the Portuguese Infanta, sir.

Some consider it a successful party.

I'm going to introduce my new wife without my permission?

I think everyone is in charge of the Princess Palatine.

Perhaps she understands something in secular games, but she is far from politics.

No, it's not her doing,

someone else pulls the strings.

I ordered the Bresaola from Lombardy itself. Try it.

Is it worth drawing a conclusion from this that you do not like our cuisine?

Too varied for me. My stomach is better tolerated

more simple dishes.

Your grapes are sweet,

but Roman wine, for my taste, is too strong.

And what do you say about our proposal?

I think it should awaken your appetite.

Before signing an agreement with the Vatican, I would like to discuss the conditions.

You are not in a position to negotiate.

Now, when my niece is the queen of Spain,

I want, as you expected, to expand my empire to Portugal.

The Vatican will be happy.

But I will not marry an infant.

The church would prefer an alliance based on blood ties,

but not on spilled blood.

I'll take Portugal in my own way.

This marriage -

the only thing,

which will strengthen our treaty.

Unless you want the world to know who you really are.

I am the son of Louis XIII and Anne of Austria.

And no living soul can prove the opposite.

In that case, I need to leave immediately.

The pope wishes to confirm your excommunication as soon as possible.

This is impossible, given that I suggest you stay longer.

You dare to treat a servant of Rome

as with a prisoner?

No.

Of course no.

As with my guest.

Congratulations, sire.

Many have already changed their faith.

They demonstrate their wisdom and faithfulness.

And what about those who refuse?

Make a list to assess the scale of the problem.

And you are not going to discuss this on the council?

I do not think that it is necessary. And you?

When I think about what we turned into, I get sick.

You are making a serious mistake.

You are cruel to your people, and I'm talking about all of us.

I just, as I can, do my duty to the country,

with prayer

and wisdom.

You still consider yourself a god.

"But you're not even a king. "I know perfectly well who I am.

Ruler, chosen by God.

But whence then the desire to constantly remind all about it?

Why prove that you do not obey Rome?

I have nothing to prove. I do the will of the Lord.

Nonsense!

You improvise on the go.

The Lord did not choose you as much as me.

We quarrel like ordinary brothers.

And I no longer have to obey you.

You will do everything that you are ordered.

You're an impostor! We both know this.

Come on.

Let's see which of us is nicer to God.

You already killed our father, what prevents you from killing me?

Let's see which of us Cain,

and who is Abel.

For the beauty of youth!

Oh, good old days...

You were not invited.

I was hoping for your support,

but it seems that you now need it.

What do you want?

Do you know what's going on in Versailles?

Or you have too much to do?

Actually, I'm getting drunk.

And I'm having fun.

True? Having fun?

And where is the light in your eyes?

- Well... You took an extra card. - No, he did not.

Yes, he cheats, I saw.

A dirty rogue.

But I will wean you.

Enough. You've had enough fun for today, your highness.

Come on.

What?

You owe us an explanation.

There is nothing to explain.

I do not know what happened, but you became a shadow of yourself.

Do not think that you can so easily climb into my pants.

But I did not have the slightest intention.

Then get out and leave me alone.

It's not fair, Philip.

We deserve more.

What is the problem?

I'm the one who wants to see me.

Old Philip, a good soul and a life-burner,

not thinking about anything but pleasures.

You are much higher than that.

True?

I do not recognize you anymore.

And I do not recognize myself.

Louis did this to you, right?

He does it with all of us

anyway.

You need to talk to him, Philip.

He does not listen to anyone but you.

You can not drop your hands.

He went too far.

I can not talk to him anymore.

Whatever your brother has done to you, I'm sorry.

Invitation to an audience - a great honour for me,

Your Grace.

But I do not know what could help you.

I was told,

that no one knows the thoughts of the King

better you.

Recently, His Majesty keeps his thoughts to himself.

We with the king should discuss the Edict of Nantes,

before taking such drastic measures.

Do not you approve of his choice?

As a defender of Europe,

the clergy want only one thing - support

peace at any cost.

What does not prevent you from supporting the war.

Louis defies the authority of the church.

On the contrary.

He proves his devotion to the Catholic faith.

I ask myself what he could find in a lady of such humble origins as you.

If only our princesses

were so pious and clever.

Louis wants to strengthen his empire.

Dad likes it.

But our good relations can develop,

Only if he marries Isabella.

The king himself decides,

how should he act.

If he refuses to obey,

he will be excommunicated from the church.

Being a devoted Catholic,

you do not want his soul to be damned...

as well as his empire.

I did not disturb his majesty?

You are always welcome, you know.

But not in the last days, if I'm allowed to notice.

I was busy.

Business related to the Vatican?

Yes exactly.

They have been bothering me for a long time, like a pebble in a shoe.

Therefore, you must marry Isabella.

You will receive the support of the Vatican and the power in Europe that you have never had.

"But the church will dictate to me its conditions. "The church needs you the same as you do.

"Let them think they drove me into a corner, but I do not admit defeat. "But this is not a battle.

- No, this is war. - In which you will not win.

You will be excommunicated from the church,

Louis.

You spoke with Cardinal Leto.

You, the only one I trusted.

The Church is a terrible enemy.

Do not challenge her.

How could you deceive me like this...

Think, Louis.

- You could have everything. - Except you.

I am only a tiny sacrifice, and you would protect yourself and everything,

about which they always dreamed.

"I will never yield to blackmail. "You said so yourself...

You must act in your own interests

and the interests of France.

All this beauty...

And now I do not even have the right to sunlight.

A real bait.

In that case, it's time to leave.

I can not even leave the room.

I could break a few hands,

give somebody a bribe.

Would you like me to admit defeat?

Sometimes I would like to be born with moral values.

All are born with them.

But few respect them.

Perhaps this is what I love about you.

Perhaps, that is why our relations are doomed.

- What are you doing? - We protest.

We know only one way to do this.

Bye.

Freedom of choice -

that's what distinguishes a person.

Do you agree, Bishop?

Such are the complexities of our being.

Choosing one thing,

we must abandon the other.

I have supported the Church all my life.

The church is a wise and loving mother.

My mother, too, was wise in her own way.

Even in the face of an insoluble dilemma

she understood what her duty was.

Nobody can compare with it in this.

The Lord granted us his Holy Church,

but a man built it in Rome,

is not it?

St. Paul, yes.

But if the interests of Rome do not coincide with ours,

in your opinion, whose side will the Lord choose?

I cant answer.

I only know that in kings

you are chosen by God.

And if this king

will lead our church,

He will need a bishop who has great influence.

Bishop, who will obey one king.

The royal power is sacred.

The Lord created kings to make them his messengers.

Through them, he rules on this earth.

The Royal Throne

does not belong to man...

It is the throne of the Lord Himself.

The Lord blesses you, Louis,

the head of His Church in France.

You missed the ceremony.

I know why you avoid your brother.

Because of the prisoner, right?

Now he's dead.

Why talk about it?

All my life I dedicated to your family.

I want to know the truth.

The king is not who he claims to be.

Admit it.

Cardinal!

I believe you had a good time at Versailles.

Kindly pass my best wishes to His Holiness.

I will tell him about everything that happened here.

I'm sure he will understand,

that it is utterly impossible to be excommunicated from your own church.

Also give my thanks for your kind offer,

but I no longer need his support.

I expect that he will resume

in the near future talks with Emperor Leopold.

And, by the way, know that I'm going to assign Portugal no matter what.

You've gone too far, Louis.

You will not return back.

Today you celebrate the victory,

but tomorrow, I'm afraid,

everything can change.

"My hands are shaking. "It's perfectly normal.

The king is not an ordinary person.

Stay yourself.

I know, he will like you.

Your Majesty, Isabella de Braganza,

the Portuguese Infanta.

You are gorgeous.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

My father sends you

best wishes,

as well as all relevant documents.

Tell me, would you marry a king who broke ties

with the Vatican?

This tells me about the strength of character.

I like men with their opinions.

Have you ever been close with a man?

No, Sire.

Fair?

Well...

Maybe with one. Or two.

I think there were more of them.

This means that I have valuable skills.

Good.

I wanted our relationship to start with honesty.

His Majesty plans to keep in touch with his mistresses?

You said yourself about honesty, sir.

Your sincerity is pleasant, even if it is inappropriate.

You need instructions regarding the wedding.

Madame de Maintenon will deal with this.

Yes, Sire.

And, for your information...

the answer to your question is no.

I heard you met the king in my absence.

It was a normal conversation.

What are your plans for Protestants?

You are too obtuse in this matter.

I'm not grumpy.

I have principles, it's completely different.

The king calls on us to stand by his side.

I suggest you join.

We did not expect you, Colbert.

I heard you feel bad.

It is my duty to attend all council meetings.

I updated the list of Protestant families in Paris.

We need to deal with them.

Busy, sire?

Those who do not renounce their faith will be arrested.

Their property - destroyed or confiscated,

and their priests are waiting for a special punishment.

Monsieur Marchal, you will unite all the people under your command.

Let them today pass simultaneously throughout Paris.

Arrest the rich, the poor and all the rest.

Without warning and mercy.

You do not like something?

Monsieur Marshal, I order you.

No more.

Sorry.

I need to talk to you.

Immediately.

No matter what they accuse me of, they have no proof.

You are not accused.

But your friends

are in serious danger.

I'm not leaving.

For God's sake, wake up!

You must leave France as soon as possible.

This is my house!

I am a loyal subject and a Frenchwoman.

Louis ordered the arrest of all Protestants tonight.

- Including those who do not live in the palace? - Their fate worries me even more.

God knows what will be done to them.

"I have to go to my father. "They'll arrest you!

Try to stop me.

Good.

Monsieur Marshal is nowhere to be found.

I do not need it. Louvois can take on

command of the operation. He will have the strength of spirit.

"Are the people ready? "Yes, Sire.

But it seems your brother also left the palace.

He left for St. Cloud.

Would you order him back, your majesty?

The battle is no longer to his teeth.

Let him go.

Already not so brave without his musketeers, right?

Do I know you?

Where is the shoemaker's sister?

Not here.

I'll give her your message.

"Stop it!

- What do you want? "I came to warn you.

What happened?

Have you renounced your faith?

Only over my dead body.

So you need to leave Paris at once.

"You are in danger. "Do not forget, this is the man of the king.

"Do not listen to him. "Ignore me if you want.

But know,

the storm is approaching.

And there is.

And you should always ask permission before turning to the king.

As well as at my place.

The king does not like direct questions.

I already understood this.

But you could become my maid of honour,

to help avoid mistakes.

Are you okay?

I have a fever.

She must have caught a cold.

You know...

You can talk to me.

I would not be so sure.

The church was involved from the very beginning.

Please do not try to convince me that you have nothing to do with it.

But what's the difference.

It was so destined.

A king can not marry a woman of no parent, like me.

All of us are just goods.

We must do what is expected of us.

I did nothing else.

That's why I'm suffering right now.

By the will of God, I lost a man whom I love.

Marriage is like death.

His time is determined,

and it can not be avoided.

I want to enrol

how best for my country.

So you do what you believe.

But in the meantime, I lost Philip and Fabien.

For the first time in your life, you are in control of your destiny.

It's right that you doubt it.

But you won, sire.

Not yet.

They ask you, madam.

Sir.

We will not waste time. I want to get married today.

Yes, of course, sire.

"I'll send for Isabella. - That is unnecessary.

I do not understand.

Francoise...

Will you marry me?

Open it!

Everybody get out!

Come on!

These bastards are crazy!

It was not worth giving you a chance.

He told the truth.

Forward!

Let her go!

Let's go to!

Back off!

We need her.

Come along.

Father!

Take them away!

Delphine!

This is unforgivable!

This is the law.

And where is your Protestant God now?

My God

damn your king!

Come on, climb!

The King needs to be stopped.

No matter what.
