The Swisser

About the show

In seventh-century Lombardy, the mercenary Andrucho—actually the banished noble Aribert—comments on court politics as Arioldus returns to command the army. The king’s assault on captive Eurinia sparks a conflict over loyalty and justice, while a deception over a sleeping potion nearly destroys two secretly married young lovers; revelations and arranged marriages restore a tragicomic order.
