Episode Description

Cologne, 1265 — a city under siege, its streets brimming with unrest and uneasy alliances. When political grudges spill over into the night, strange visions, whispered plots, and a deadly dance leave their mark on the medieval metropolis. In this episode, we follow archbishop Engelbert von Falkenburg who can’t stop picking fights, a city that won’t bow, and the shadowy hands fanning the flames in between.
