Svätopluk

About the show

In 894 Great Moravia, King Svätopluk, believing himself near death, gives power to his sons Mojmír and young Svätopluk. The younger son plots with Frankish and pagan allies to take the throne, while Mojmír frees Milena from a planned pagan sacrifice and refuses to rebel against his father. Ľutomíra frames Mojmír, and the king imprisons him. After a failed attempt by the younger son to kill the king, Svätopluk’s third son Predslav persuades him to lift his sons’ death sentences. The king forgives them and urges unity, but young Svätopluk attacks Mojmír; Milena shields Mojmír and dies, and the king dies during the struggle. Young Svätopluk flees.
