Kuningas lähtee Ranskaan

About the show

In an encroaching ice age, the English prince becomes king and leads an army across the frozen Channel to France with four prospective brides and Parliament, represented by a giant cannon. The campaign follows the Hundred Years’ War: the English win at Crécy, then besiege Calais. The king grows increasingly cruel, ordering the English archer mutilated and threatening the starving people of Calais, though he later spares six burghers after the Queen and Caroline plead for them. He plans to conquer Paris and continue south, while chronicler Froissart asks him to read his account; the king replies that Time shaped history, not him.
