A tragicomedy about business finance and bankruptcy, using a financial crisis to make a forceful plea for honesty.
Aslak and his sons murder Hulda’s family, and she vows revenge. Two years later, she is to marry Gudleik, but she falls in love with the king’s emissary Eiolf; Gudleik is killed in a fight with him. Aslak later kills another son, Arne, after finding him with Hulda. Eiolf leaves Hulda and reconciles with Swanhilde, so Hulda recruits the remaining Aslak brothers to murder him. After they kill Eiolf, the brothers turn on Hulda. She welcomes death and throws herself into the fjord.
This three-play cycle follows Sigurd, a 12th-century claimant to the Norwegian throne: he discovers his royal parentage and leaves for the Crusades, returns to Caithness and Orkney where his ambition brings disaster, then comes home to seek recognition, raises a revolt, and dies in defeat.
In 1122, the young Sigurd prays to learn who his father is. His mother reveals he is the illegitimate son of King Magnus Barefoot; Sigurd vows to claim his right to the throne and leaves to join the Crusades.
In 1136, Sigurd returns to Stavanger seeking recognition from his half-brother, King Harald Gille. After nobles imprison him and plot his death, Sigurd escapes, kills Harald, and raises a revolt; before his defeat and death in 1139, he bids farewell to his mother.
Five years after leaving Norway, Sigurd serves Harald, Earl of Caithness, and loves Harald’s niece Audhild. Sigurd’s ambition for power brings bloody disaster to the noble families, and he decides to leave on another Crusade.
