No fighting with each other man can go into the battle thinking about death, for to do so is to risk getting on that very fate. Twelth Hundred years, Italy. The domination of the Normans, the most feared warriors in Christendom, is leading to trouble. At their head is the feared Robert de Hauteville, the 'Guiscard', who may have colonised a lot of Italy and now orders the triple Dukedom of the expanded Norman family, but Robert has made many opponents, like the ever-powerful papacy in Rome. The newly elected Pope Gregory excercises his vendetta up against the Normans by stimulating these to sail to Byzantium and battle the Turks. But first he must deal with the Guiscard. As Robert successfully suppresses a Lombard revolt, punishing the traitors with unrestrained brutality, his first-born, Bohemund, now 17 and blessed with the strength, height, and military services prowess of his dad, has come to battle in his army. Already recognized as a formidable warrior, Bohemund seeks to assert his natural right as the heir of Robert's dukedom - but this is not without difficultly and discord as Robert's second boy, Borsa, is currently legally eligible for inherit. A struggle between the sons is unavoidable, and loyalties and blood vessels ties will depend for nothing.
