The poison of Crown

Here begins Artois, my domain, My land! My good land!

I swear to God, Lorme that I will worn these spikes on my chest, until I will reconquer my land

to the last piece from my aunt Mahaut.

Is it not a shame that someone like you, the real owners must obey this woman!

What have you forgotten here? ? Go away!

Let's scare the people, so it will weaken her authority and they turn away from her.

- But how? - We will bring revolts to the Artois' fields.

They will be yours someday.

But now she hosts here. Yet it is the best way to get these away from her.

From now on, all that is hers will be yours.

Thanks.

Robbers of the villain Robert do not give back.

But I'm not a woman that can easily got out of the saddle.

They want to keep customs (kutjum) in practice? Let's apply the customs.

But first we must make inquiries to find exactly

how old customs are accepted in every separate area.

Your secretary and my uncle Thierry will do everything

so the proceedings last as long as possible.

You have to play subtle.

Louis-le-Hutin (the Quarreler, or the Stubborn) the new king, as people named him,

knew it or did not, as this dog Robert gained his confidence,

to take Artois from me.

Fortunately, our grumpy king has bad health.

They say that cough tears his chest.

If God would endure to call to Him ... we will soon get rid of him.

In the name of the king, you are arrested, Messire de Marigny!

- Where will carry me? - At Montfaucon, sir.

My son, do you acknowledge your sins?

No father. I have not built a conspiracy against the king and devastated the treasury.

I have always fulfilled the orders of the King Philip the Fourth zealously.

However, I happened to carry out unfair affairs for the right purposes. Agains the law.

and for that I am ready to repent.

Do not hold me! Keep your hands off of me!

Hang him in these clothes, so people recognize him from far away.

Continue, good people, and we will admire your work.

I have never thought that I will be given a chance to see it.

My people are content, are they?

All are happy that I sent Marigny to the gallows, right, Eudeline?

Certainly, Monsignor Louis that is, Your Majesty!

- People believe that now is the end of all odds. - Very good. I also believe it.

I promised to arrange a future of this child.

Sire, she will pray for you to the end of her days.

That's what I prepared for her.

Let her pray.

She will go to the monastery of Saint Marcel for noble births.

There she will be fine.

That's the fate that you have decided? To be a nun?

So what? What's wrong with such a fate?

In our world her life will be much heavier.

With her vows she redeems all sins that we have done by bringing her into the world.

Monsignor Louis,

you will send me to a monastery as well?

I take care of you later. But you should not stay here.

I am your humble servant, sir. I have to obey.

- It is she? - This is the future queen of France.

Be happy then, sire.

- Are you crying, mother? - Yeah, I'm crying of happiness.

I am happy that I stopped love him.

Marigny was not our friend.

The Barons are happy about his fall and give credit for it to themselves, but here is our help as well.

We have to admit that you've helped considerably, Gucci.

To reward you, I'll take you to the companions.

- What would be your wish? - A Trade in Neauphle.

In Neauphle? I knew you were not vain.

We don't have a great establishment in Neauphle, not important.

Three people can get along with it. What a whim!

I've got my interest there and I'm convinced that I'll be able to expand it.

I assume that Miss Cressay is the reason for your attraction there.

I saw the accounts.

The Lord not only owe us but we still feed them.

I love her so much and she loves me.

It's very beautiful and besides - noble.

With noble blod, you can have trouble.

Remember that nobles need only our money

and they did not want to become related to us and mix their blood with ours.

- Her family has agreed?

I reckon they will. Her brothers think I'm one of them.

I do not know what to say ... Go!

You can not make someone happy against his will.

And Siennas are free people, and marry only for love.

Go to your beautiful. Tell her

I receive her with open arms in Paris.

Thanks.

I called for you, monseniore Guccio,

because His Majesty knows from me, what valuable help you provided me.

It's a great honor to serve you.

Then, my friend Guccio, we return to Naples.

I found a very decent party for my beautiful Clementia.

At 22 years and having only the virtue as a single property, it was hard to count.

There are romors that Marguerite de Bourgogne died in prison. It was a violent death.

Do not listen to gossips.

It's natural that God punished her,

the woman who betrayed her husband and broke her marriage vows.

They say that the king is not too good looking and bad-tempered as well.

So what? My husband was lame, but I can not complain.

In addition, marriing a King is not for happyness.

Thank you, Grandma, for all you have done for me.

Thanks to you I will become the Queen of France,

a kingdom that stretched out, bathed by four rivers and three sees.

- This is a great happiness. - Be happy, my little girl.

I sincerely wish you to be happy.

Now go, my daughter.

Well, now I can die.

King is coughing severely, Master Martin. Cough rips out his chest.

Your worries are justified.

Heaven's map does not predict him either great health or longevity.

- Oh, my God. You know when? - Most likely, less than a year.

However, do you think His Majesty has time to get married until that?

- Sure. - And to give birth to an heir?

The position of Moon opposing Mars

does not promise his child an easy life.

He will need to be surrounded by faithful servants and watchful care of his spirit.

You can rely on me, Maitre Martin. I am at your service.

The stars are favorable to us. You can not miss this opportunity.

Tomorrow at dawn to go Dourdan.

You say that you were sent there, but you will have no letters, no other signs.

- Why my mother did not come herself? - The plan has to remain secret.

The appearance of your mother here may be misinterpreted. And you already know me.

Margaritat, as you say, has died from suspicious causes.

Perhaps, the same fate is prepared for me?

Why would I notify of the death of your cousin? I have done it freely.

Even if you are deceiving me, that's all better than to die of boredom.

I'm ready!

Mix the blood with infusions of verbena, lily of the valley,

then boil over a fire of ash branches and we will get the desired effect.

Quite enough is to mix this elixir to the drinking of Count of Poitiers,

and he soon will regain the love to his wife.

I believe in the power of poisons, when one must get rid of enemies, but love potions ...

I do not believe it.

- So I quit? - No.

The most difficult thing will be to lure Philip here as soon as possible.

Robert, the devil's heir, flatters the King, God knows what will happen.

It costs nothing to try.

I return to Artois.

This dog thinks I let him to burn my land.

and trob my castles without me to oppose.

If he wants war, he will have it.

I wish he died!

I wish he died along with the Quarreler.

Let me remind you that you yourselves were at death's door in the morning.

Your son-in-law agreed to come only because he thought you were dying.

You told me about it.

I was told that my vassals conspired against me with vile Robert.

That news just shattered me and brough me into bed.

All these rebels created by his nephew, will drive me to the grave.

Philip, save my Joanne from death. She did not deserve such terrible fate.

- Who threatenes her.

- Robert! Who else?

This great schemer together with your sister, Isabelle,

He ruined my daughters and Margarita.

I'm aware that the devil went to the Chateau Gaillard

the day that Margarite was found dead.

No, I can not stand it!

Robert and the King are partners for the murder.

Robert was the hand of the King.

Now he'll turn against my daughters, and kill them both.

First Blanche, which is an unwanted witness

and then Jeanne, your faithful and innocent spouse.

And then will be my turn

However, it's not necessary to kill me

I will come down to the grave from grief and fear.

Philip please save your wife Bring her back and protect her.

I implore you to support me!

If Robert takes Artois, I will have to take back the Bourgogne,

the dowry of my daughter Joanne.

This day you will suffer as well.

Because Bourgogne is a considerable part of your income.

We will talk later about all this.

We shall soon meet again, my dear mother.

He drank it to the bottom.

You'll see that Count of Poitiers will soon go to Lourdes.

I know it will be a good king, if the current one will be taken by God.

And your daughter Jeanne will be a beautiful queen.

Madam, here it is the king. Hungarian princess, sir.

My humblest respects to your majesty.

Your portrait, dear cousin, is above all praise.

But in life you are even more beautiful. than in the picture.

- Niece, you'll be married without delay.. - What? Right here in this wasteland?

Circumstances so require fortunately. We're returning from the Battle of Flanders.

But why such a hurry?

At Easter, the king must be in Reims. Louis will be crowned there on Sunday.

and wants the union with you to be blessed earlier, so you can be together at the coronation.

In the presence of God Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I bless your marriage

Hold on!

Catch the fox!

Do French customs usually require that the wives of your relatives do not attend the wedding?

You will not have the opportunity to meet my wife in the palace.

I beg you, brother, in such a happy day

to bring Jeanne back from disgrace.

Her fault it is not criminal, She repented of them.

Your Royal Highness! Today for me is a great holiday

and I want all women in the kingdom to share my joy.

Have mercy on her for my sake.

I'm ready for anything, my honey, just to please you.

- But will I have Blanche back? - Never!

- So I'll remain for life without a wife? - Let the fate decide, brother.

It seems that the destiny is kinder to Philip than me.

According to you, I'm still able to seduce my husband?

Staying here has not spoiled your beauty.

In addition, a love potion he drunk will entirely make him subordinate to you.

You are sure that Philip forgave me?

I repeat, madamy. He asked the King to get you back to the court.

For God's sake, do not look out, Madam. We are not in favor here.

And yet, there is not a soul around..

Do not call my name. They hunt for our family.

It's her carriage, but the Countess Mahaut is not here.

I'm he Countess de Poitiers, why you are shouting?

- She was released from prison? - Yes.

What are your names?

I do not have a habit of talking to strangers.

I'm Messire de Souastre,

and they are Mr. de Fiennes, Mr. de Caumont, and Mr. de the Saint-Venant ...

Is that so? All the noble names!

I did not know that the Knights now attack

women, instead of protecting them.

You are in search of the Countess of Artois, I can bring you to her,

under the condition that you will not threathen our lives on the lives of the quards.

because otherwise you will be faced the King of France, my brother-in-law.

Make the right choice, Mr.

In Eden we will be no longer afraid. Mother's Garrison would be able to cool their ardor.

You have coped with them very well. You saved me, madam

I shall never forget that.

If you brought the love of my husband back - consider, we're even.

Well, my gentlemen, you changed your minds to talk with your lady?

You have lost your courage?

You were waiting for my daughter to annoy me? These are ways the Knights do?

We want to know if you madam acknowledge our customs,

the way they were in St. Louis time.

Gentlemen I see you are not satisfied with something.

Well, and we are too. Aren 't you, mother?

If Countess would wish to punish you for your disrespect to her, it would be simple

Mr Souastre the king has sent to you two envoys for the peace talks.

- Why did you refuse? - We no longer believe the Countess Mahaut.

Negotiations have been proposed on behalf of the king.

But Mr. Robert ... Monseniors, you believed the word

of the Count de Artois? He has no right to speak on behalf of the king.

He lost the process against Mrs. Mahaut.

For six years the affairs of this county consern only to you, the Countess and the King.

And now I ask you to leave and appeal to the mind of your friends.

My dear son, you saved my life.

Everybody says about the customs of the St. Louis.

They intend to turn back, as if my father has never existed!

- And my brother approves it. - What a pity that you are not on the throne.

Philip, I was so missing you!

I lost all shame!

Take her to your apartment. Dinner will be served there.

I told you she loves you.

- Well? - The Love Potion had the desired effect.

Now they are both asleep.

Praise the Lord! We reunited a second pair the kingdom.

- He's coming to us! - Who?

- Guccio is coming tomorrow. - What good news. He's a good companion .

His uncle entrusted him with the trade in Neauphle.

He will come to ask for my hand! I'm so happy!

- How do you know? - He promised!

Go to your room immediately!

Never! No way!

A lombard, a shopkeeper, nobody!

He has to be honored to be our friend, that's enough.

You forget that only because of him, we have not lost our land and the castle.

- He's rich and the king of France protects him. - I am not selling my daughter for gold!

In our veins flows the noble blood, it's time to remind him about it.

It's completely right so. Neither do I accept such misalliance.

Then get ready to receive him tomorrow.

- Will I have the pleasure of seing Mademoiselle? - Sure, she will be with us at dinner.

You did not recognize her: so she blossomes with happiness!

Yes, you made me incredibly happy!

And we are very pleased.

Marie is engaged to a relative of us, Mr. de Saint-Venant,

a vassal of Artois, who comes from an ancient, noble family.

who loves her, and Marie is madly in love with him.

- And when the wedding will take place? - At the beginning of summer.

It's as if it would be done already.

- Welcome, sir Guccio. - Congratulations, Mademoiselle Marie.

Accept a gift from me to your wedding. I was given it by Queen Clemence.

This is a relic of St. John The Baptist.

I am sorry to part with it,

but no man must show his pain, losing the most expensive.

- Good night, sir. - Pleasant dreams, madame.

If you need anything, call me. My room is next.

She told me to tell you to come tomorrow morning at a certain place you know.

Tell Mrs. Marie I do not want to see her.

Your heart is broken when I see it. I swear that was not her fault. She is in despair.

Leave us alone.

- I brought you a gift, my dear. - Again, a gift, Louis?

You cover me with gifts. Every day a new one.

This is an old thing. Large rarity. Take a look.

Do not be afraid. It's a small fork for pears.

There are only five in all the world.

I want one of them be with you. So you don't dirty your beautiful little fingers when you eat fruit.

Thank you, sire.

Cousin! You are getting prettier every day. The Air of France does you favors! Maybe the marriage?

- What good wind has brought you? - If only a favorable one, sire.

Revenues from Artois are unlikely to come into your treasury.

My worthless Auntie Mahaut robs you, as she robbed me.

- Without my care ...

- I heard about your troubles. Sit down and we'll talk.

But first taste the bombons I became addicted through Clemence.

Very tasty ...

We need to take immediate measures, sire. You shouls interfere and as soon as possible.

Artois can not stay long time in her wolf's paws.

Assign a new trial!

Otherwise Artois shares the fate of Flanders. The loss is very great.

Your nephew Robert is in favor of the King.

I doubt that a new trial leaves you Artois.

Perhaps you should not go to Paris.

Artois is mine. The Quarreler will not dare to take it from me.

And I have prepared Robert a very nice surprise.

My daughter Jeanne will appeare at the court soon.

And the king will have to reckon with her.

If everything comes out, as I've planned, Robert will not be able to take my Artois.

We will be back soon.

How hard is it! I have noted it on the day of the coronation.

Sire, Mr. Martin has just arrived.

Yes, I want to see him here.

- Have you got the answer to my questions? - Yes, sire.

Then tell me the truth. 'm Not afraid of him.

Speak the truth, even if it is bitter.

Nothing prevents you to have an heir.

You've comforted me, Mr. Martin.

And were you able to determine the best opportunity for the conception of my heirs?

Let's talk first about the first-born, the emperor.

I dare hope that it will be born when the Sun

enters the House of Sagittarius.

- So, the time of conception ... - Mid-February.

That means we need to hurry up with the pilgrimage, that queen desires to take.

The Emperor, another word of caution.

Beware of poisons. Especially at the end of spring.

- Poisons? You mean bite of the viper? - No sire, I talk about the poison taken with food.

Thank you for your advice.

Monseniore of Tire, it's necessary to strengthen the security in the kitchen.

Prepare only the products of known origin

and taste twice before I ask for any meal.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and The Holy Spirit. Now he will change the previous decision.

It is our desire and God's will,

to maintain order in the kingdom and to prevent all quarrels between people.

Sire, I not think of anything other than peace and I strive to make your days happier.

And you can say the same thing, gentlemen?

Your majesty, we want a reconciliation and remain your faithful vassals.

Quarrels about Artois violate the balance in the kingdom.

Revenues from these rich land do not enter more into the treasury.

So we decided to bring it to our court.

Chancellor, read out the court's decision.

"Both sides agree not to remember any past grievances.

Countess Mahaut recognizes her obligations towards her citizens

and promises to implement the customs of St. Louis.

Countess will return the land to vassals, illegally taken from them before.

If there are complaints against the Countess the King will appoint persons to investigate them.

If the Countess refuses to act fairly, the King meett the aspirations of the complainants"

This was not the question. This addition was inscribed later.

Swear to unquestioningly execute the sentence of the king.

I swear.

I refuse to swear.

I will not agree to this fake sentence I will not execute it!

Why do you refuse? It seems a well-balanced decision.

Sire, do you accept that you were publicly insulted?

Now you see, gentlemen what I meant when I said I was betrayed by this woman monster, this devil in a skirt.

who does not respect either the authority of the King, or the power of God!

Lies and slander flow as saliva from your mouth, Robert.

Take care you do not bite your tongue. How can you live without it?

Shut up, madam! I forbid you to return to Artois since you have failed to fulfill what you have been prescribed.

Until then you can stay in Paris hotel or a new castle in Conflans

and nowhere else.

That's all for today, justice is done!

Now she has nowhere to go. She is my fist!

Mahaut will not permit you to comply.

By the way, I need a good messenger to deliver the good news to Artois.

Otherwise the friends of my beloved aunt could interfere.

Your nephew, Guccio, would come up.

My nephew is now all in love with a girl of noble blood.

but I believe that I have a solution - just who you want.

Monastic cassock people notice from far away.

- A monk? - Italian.

Well, things are going the best way possible.

My aunt - let her burn in hell, can not leave Paris without breaking the royal decree.

With your gold I was able to bribe

Two guards of her - or rather, of mine -

of the Castle in the Eden.

They will open the gates to my friends.

They come back to me with a rich prey, and you will sell it.

Tell your monk to look for Mr. Fiennes and noone else.

Souastre and Caumont are being observed

And you, young man, have fun with highborn ladies. It's naturally at your age.

Over few years you will understand that the noble blood is not worth a lot,

and that these pleasures are found at any brothel, much cheaper, for ten sous.

My boy, you are back so soon. And when is the wedding?

These people are mere beasts! They have forbidden me to see Mary again.

They locked and barred her. She risked her life to warn me.

Mother wants to marry her an old and ugly cousin, he's 45 now!

- It's not that old! - Marie would rather die!

She could not bear, to be given to another!

I can never let this happen!

If no one can help, I'll take her to Italy!

Poor you, you will not make ten league

as they would grab you.

The girl would be locked up in a monastery, but you would hang up on the first tree.

Don't be kidding with the nobles.

But since you've decided to take a wife, I can help.

It seems the only way to cure you of this insanity

Thanks.

Baroness, will you give me a shelter for one night?

The clerk took with him my keys from the shop in Neauphle.

With me is brother Vincenzo, tomorrow he must be in the Douais monastery.

I can only provide you with a little room under the roof.

If you are satisfied with it, you are welcome.

Do not sleep tonight and be ready.

I need the keys to the chapel.

Brother Vincenzo asks the keys to the chapel.

Tomorrow he starts very early and he would like to pray before the trip.

Margot! Two Kuvert for your guests!

In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit! I'm sorry I was not able to arrange the most beautiful wedding.

For me, it's the most beautiful wedding, because it has bound me to you.

My dear niece, I have brought you the news which will make a lot of noise in the court.

Your daughter Jeanne de Poitiers is pregnant.

- This morning the midwife confirmed it. - I am very happy for Madame de Poitiers.

And she is extremely grateful to you,

Because you have helped her to be forgiven and returned to her husband.

God knows I did everything right, as soon as he blessed their union.

I hope He will bless yours as soon as possible.

My dear niece, you know, I don't throw words to the wind.

King Louis fulfils his duties? His Majesty is very attentive to me.

Does he visit your bed after 5 months regularly?

Almost every night, my uncle.

I arranged that marriage and I do not want you to be sorry for it.

Women in my family are very fertile, as they have proved it often.

If there is an obstacle to your goal,

my blood is not to blame, I assure you..

And we have discussed it many times.

Empress, you are left withiout light? I have to call someone.

No, Eudeline, I do not want anybody.

Are you crying?

Do not cry, soon is the supper, and you can not appear in tears.

How long have you served in this castle?

I think you know all of its secrets.

Is it true that the Princess of Navarre, which is kept away from the court, is not from my husband?

Empress, people gossip a lot.

Margarite de Burgogne one could say exactly, but her mouth is now covered with earth.

Your concern, whether the Emperor is capable of...

having an heir? Do not worry, Your Majesty, Louis may have it!

- How do you know? - I know better than anyone.

I should not tell and you could pin my mouth, but a lady such noble and good as you

will not be offended if I confess King Louis is the father of my daughter.

I did not want it. But he was so young ...

I want to see your daughter.

Please do not tell anyone. Otherwise he will be aware that I told you.

She looks so much like the king, and out of fear that it will insult you she was locked up in a monastery.

- It is true that she will be a nun when it's time. - But why?

How could he think that I will approve such a decision?

My poor Edelina, in my fault your daughter was taken away.

Be assured, you'll get her back. I will protect her.

- I talk to the king. - Please, lady, don't do anything.

I'd rather know that my daughter is in a monastery, than in the grave.

I should not say that.

God wants you to keep far from evil deeds,

but I can not see how your are tormented by ignorance.

What kind of evil you say?

This is due to the death of Margarita?

In the court if someone has any doubts about it, they are only yours.

She was killed so the king could marry me.

Why Marguerite died?

It is, if I was not deceived, a chest cold.

- Swear before God, Louis? - I will not swear.

I do not want anybody to remind me of her. Neither you nor anyone else!

Then swear that she died not at your order.

How can you blame me for this? Especially you!

You'd better blame your grandmother! Yes, it's her fault!

She has required that our marriage took place before the summer.

And I prayed God took Marguerite before this term.

My prayers were answered, that's all!

Because of this crime, my husband, the Lord does not give us a baby!

Because of this and all other evils, created by you.

What do you do now? I can not resurrect the dead.

Separate yourself from me, go back to Naples.

and wait the Pope will be elected, let him break our marriage bonds.

The Pope!

There would be nothing wrong if we had Pope.

I have never thought to leave you.

I made a vow to share with you any grief and joy.

But I pray only for the salvation of your soul

and I wish you to repent, otherwise you will have no forgiveness.

How kind of you!

A hundred times better than me ...

I promise to be changed. I will do whatever you want.

Remorse gnaws at my soul all this time!.

I forget about it only in your arms!

- We ought to repent. - We repent, my soul.

We will hold the fasting three times a week, when you order.

- Louis, you're not listening to me! - No, I'm listening!

I understand what you deny me.

You do not love me and you want to trample me down, as Margarita!

Is it not a curse that I'm not loved by people I love?

Well, let's do everything as you wish.

Leave the candles burn!

And let your clothes fall.

Mr Evrad, you're saying that Cardinal Caetani has commanded you, a former Templar

to send my brother and me to the grave?

Yes, monseniore. With the help of witchcraft. I swear before God that is true.

Do not swear, it's a sin!

Cardinal has sent me a book of pure wax.

I made one image of man in the crown, and another little figure also in a clown.

I put them on paper with the names of those they represent.

But the names were not yours! Because in the last minute I was scared.

We are not sure that he is not lying. Send him to a torture room.

- No! Have mercy on me! - Do not touch me!

To Petit-Chatelet!! It would be desirable for our wise Philip to go

to Lyon, to the conclave, to avoid all quarrels

It's a wise advice, uncle, I and my brother will take it with gratitude.

- My brother, I will obey you in all. - Here is the talk of obedient brother!

Dad did not have to burn the Templars.

I have often repeated him about it and until the end protested against this insane decision.

This sadness has burned your soul,

- and not a curse! - Perhaps you're right.

How are the works progressef?

Very well. Here are the new plans, as I amended.

- And what is this Evrad like? - His look is insane. And a wooden leg.

Excuse me, my people are working poorly. I will ask Beatrice to deal with them.

The same Templar that helped us to get rid of Nogaret.

If he speaks, I'm lost. - Do you have loyal people in the Petit-Chatelet?

Nobody, lady.

It is not to easy to kill a prisoner of the royal Prison.

Philipp can only help.

I'll confess to him in everything. if he does not support me - I'm dead.

Sorry ...

- This Templar was tortured? - We did not have time for this.

Unfortunately, he hanged himself at night in his cell.

- I have interrupted you, mother. - I wanted to talk about Jeanne.

- We you take her to Lyon with you? - No. In her position she should not travel on the road.

And I want to ask you.

In my absence, let Joanne stay here, with you.

I'm afraid our cousin Robert has a habit of attacking women

when unable to cope with men.

In other words, you consider me as a men?

If it's a compliment, it flatters me.

It's really a compliment.

However, I'll be afraid in your absence.

My enemies will try for sure to take advantage of it. And take Artois.

And you would refer to my absence and do not give up anything.

This is a masterstroke. I hope to return before the birth.

I almost forgot ... Madam of Hungary was also visited by this happy event.

Queen Clemence is pregnant? What great news!

You must carry out the decision of the court, aunt.

The treasury is desperate for the income from Artois, that neither you nor your barons do not want to give.

At least do as if you obeyed!

After all, you can destroy with one hand what has been done by another.

Your Majesty, you see, I'm not a princess of blood.

That's right, and therefore recognize my power! I'm the king!

In case of new disagreements, I will call him and decide the question in your favor.

I do not like sweets, but these are truly good.

My adored Clemence sees that they were always here.

She knows that I love to chew something

I hope you fulfill the order?

No, your Majesty.

We have now a glorious King, but you will not last forever, and me too.

I have to think about my heirs,

in order not to give them to the mercy of royal power.

Put yourself in my place, sir. You also expect an heir.

Are you ready to leave him less than you should?

You're right, there is no need to leave him the memory of one's weakness!

I am tired of this hassle! I take Artois under my care.

Let it be so! You can threaten me, but you will not scare me.

Your county will be managed by one of my seniors. Henceforth Artois is in my power!

And I command you not to leave the areas that you have given.

And do not get into my eyes, I do not want to see you!

I won, my friend Lorme.

Revenues of Artois sailed away, and the Quereller has finally made his choice.

He imprisoned me in Paris, and deprived of property!

And you will still sit here?

You are only good to waste my money, get dressed nicely

and wag your tail before any donkey in a wig and pants!

Or have you decided not to help me anymore?

Haven't clove drops calmed your pain?

Even my toothache is not any better!

But I have a rotten tooth, and you know his name.

Really, madam, you wish a death of such a high person?

But what do you think can not leave my head this week?

What can I do from morning to the night except from praying to God that

Louis had fallen from his horse and broke his neck?

- There is a better remedy. - It would be helpful if he died as soon as possible!

Then your son-in-law will be a regent and you will regain Artois.

Yes. You understand my hint, Beatrice darling.

Besides, I will not spare gold to a person who will give me reliable means to get rid of him

- Poison? - The poison will sent Louis straight to hell after a hearty meal.

You do go to the king and tell him: "Your Majesty, sincerely loving you

Aunt Mahaut sends an excellent pie with currants to you"

He orders servants to taste three times everything on his table.

Louis not only quarrelsome, but a coward!

- But he goes to the Communion (Eucharistia) - Does he really fear the holy food as well?

This will probably be more difficult. His chaplain is relentlessly being followed.

Tooth! And again, again because of him!

Sugar Plum...

I beg you, show your bedroom to my mother with the wonderful tapestry!

My daughter praised them so much that I am burning with desire to see with my own eyes!

Such things are quite ingenious. Believe me, I am a good judge in this art.

Better expert could not be found in the kingdom.

I would do anything for my sister.

Look, Joan, what soft and tender texture!

It resembles Arrass' style but the selected threads are much brighter.

Undoubtedly, this is the work of most skilled craftsmen.

The best weavers of my native land!

I brought them here for a while and now they work for the benefit of the entire court.

Jeanne has ordered them something.

Imagine, my dear, you can come up with any pattern

and their hands will exactly repeat it on the fabric!

How pretty! It is a pleasure to admire such a miracle!

All masters are at your service.

Is it possible, madam? Oh, you're so kind!

I've always wanted to decorate my boring home.

And the King, of course, is also surrounded by such a beauty?

No, not one of his rooms has the tapestry.

And he sleeps there not often.

This shows that he enjoys your company and he's more drawn by your bed.

- Here's the perfect husband, is not he? - Oh yes, I am lucky!

You will permit me, dear cousin? It's because of you, I became addicted to sweets!

Jeanne, tell the Empress

openly what's on your mind.

My husband is still in Lyon, and I'm afraid I can not wait.

Could you ask the king to return Philip when my time comes?

I know that's a weakness, but if the father is close, the pain will terrify less.

I promise. You can count on me

Are very good lady. So I said to Jeanne, that you are our only hope!

Why are you silent, mother? We were received so kindly!

- Is something bothering you? - Nothing, my daughter, not at all.

We've done today is a very important step.

- Baby! You're not kidding? - I'm afraid you will love me less.

But I enjoy, Marie! What can be more miraculous! I do not believe it!

A child, our baby! What a happy day!

This time, your family will accept. We should rather inform my uncle

he can reason your mother.

Hello, mother.

You got all your clothes altered, I see.

Why did you ask Margot? Clothes off!

- Undress! I command! - Never!

- Reveal me your sin! - There is no sin on me.

So why are so fat? Not from sin?

Yes, I'm waiting for the child from Gucci. But this is not a sin,

because Gucci is my hasband.

You go to the monastery, this is the right place for a stray sheep!

That dog, the lender, have spotted the honor of my sister.

Where is the monk?

I need to find the monk that has done the marriage procedure,

The brothers de Cressay want to kill me.

Marie is pregnant, and we need to prove that we're married.

Expecting a baby? And you said nothing?

- God Almighty! The monk died. - How? How he died?

He died, gave his soul to God. He was killed on the roads of Artois.

You had the same fate, but your marriage saved your life.

- But now how I will prove that Marie is my wife? - Who needs the evidence? They - don't.

You've married to a noble girl without the blessing of her family.

And these people can even slaughter you and pay only a fine.

A fine in return of a life of the Lombards ...

The established fee for it, believe me, is not too high.

I'm sure that someone will even thank them.

The first thing you need is to hide somewhere.

Then I will get in touch with our friends of high rank. But who?

Queen Clemence was really nice to me ...

- Queen's is helpless, she will not deal without asking the King. - Then Bouville.

Not a bad idea. Well, go away.

Tell the gentlemen that I will receive them immediately.

Yesterday he played ball, but when he came to the Queen, he crouched and began to vomit.

Remember the executed Templar with his curse! It is not an accident.

Who would be on the throne?

Louis has already dictated his new testament to the Chancellor.

- But it says nothing about the regency.

- Clemence will be the regent? - But she's Italian and only recently became the queen.

Our Barons know her very little and may revolt.

- And Philip? - He is in Lyon, and will not return soon.

Then your monseniore ... The truth is, you are the factual ruler.

- How is the King? - The king is dying, Messer Bouville.

Since when is it, madam, you are so in love with our sovereign, that you rush to his bedside?

Misfortune makes us forget the insults, cousin.

I came to support dear Clemence.

Poor child, she was ready for the worst!

Her Majesty can always rely on me.

But her position will not allow her to take over the affairs of the kingdom.

Do not worry, I'll take care of the mother of the future king.

Let our Lord have mercy on us and send her a son!

However, Valois, your speech seems to imply that you are our future regent.

No one else will be able to use the power for the benefits of the kingdom.

But Louis is still breathing, my dear cousin. Postpone your plans until his death.

And, instead of keeping me here follow my example:

pray about his miraculous deliverance!

- Mr Tolomei ... - Yes, I know who you are. I know everything!

But this is nothing from the disaster that hit us.

It's terrible, my children ...

Our beloved king has died.

On your knees, children, on their knees, Let us pray for his soul! Pray!

In the name of the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit! Our Father, who is in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom will come

My nephew! Bastard! May I need another suffering today?

And what a coward! He did not have enough courage to confront my anger.

He preferred to go to Siena at full speed. Escaped, as a hare, saying nothing.

Without me prevent it, and now he must be far away.

It will be difficult to find his hiding place now. What must we do, my friends? I renounce him!

Would you like a trial?

You're right, this is the only solution, but

I'm afraid your are not rich, the court is will be very expensive.

And I am not sure that it will return the good name of your sister.

On the contrary, such a scandal will only hurt her.

In my humble opinion, one solution remains. The powerful gentlemen that own me something

will help to find a secluded place that this fruit of sin

will be secretly born away from inquisitive eyes.

Of course, it will remain between us.

What do you think?

Trust me without fear! Is it possible for the two years

I waited patiently for the debt payment, you do not beleive in my human kindness?

If I wanted your castle, it would already been mine! And have I took it?

I am a man of good heart!

- Tell me, I took it? - No.

And only because of my kindness I am ready to find for your sister a monastery where she would live till her time comes.

Of course, the monastery will be worthy of her title.

- Thank you, monseniore Tolomei. - No, no, no ...

- We are so grateful! - No, it is not necessary to thank!

Go, go away!

What stupid people!

- I still hope that Loius will pass away as soon as possible. - Come on, come on! Show what you can to the public!

Two kings go one by one! Cruel fate! What a pity!

Poor kingdom!

Sire, I ask for forgiveness for the suffering I have caused you.

I forgive you, cousin, if you submit to the power of the king.

Your Majesty, I give you my word.

She could not have played better, even if she would kill him herself.
