Note: All paintings are by Lucas Cranach, court painter for Duke Frederick at the time of Martin Luther. All photos I took while in Wittenberg, 1998.

Introduction

As Denmark declares victory in its war with Sweden, in quiet Wittenberg, Germany, a scarred Swedish soldier, Galen, dares to win his Princess Margaret's love by conspiring with her brother Kyllander to kidnap Denmark's Prince Hamlet.

But what they don't know -- Hamlet's brother Valdemar has come in secret to Wittenberg to woo and marry Margaret to ratify the peace!

Plots converge to murder and bloody indulgence on the streets as Martin Luther prepares for Lent, 1517!
