Medieval Europe is in conflict. In fact, two rival Popes have been elected, one in Rome and one in France. It's 1402 Italy. Czech warrior Jan Zizka (Ben Foster) is tasked by Lord Boresh (Michael Caine) to kidnap Katherine (Sophie Lowe) and force his fiancée Rosenberg (Til Schweiger) to support King Wenceslas IV. He would battle the Teutonic Order and the Holy Roman Empire.
The politics is confusing. I barely understand the premise behind this story. More than anything, I know that Ben Foster is the lead. There are good guys and bad guys, in the movie, not in history. There is a great battle in the middle of the film. I would have liked the movie to wrap up faster after that. In the end, I like some of the fights and the muddy style despite the confusing history.
