Barbarossa

The Milanese tear the Emperor’s warning to shreds and trample it underfoot. Before long, Frederick Barbarossa is crossing the Alps with an army to make them answer for their defiance.

In twelfth-century Lombardy, proud cities contest the power of the Holy Roman Emperor, and each act of resistance threatens to set the region ablaze. Among those caught in the struggle is Bonello, a Guelph knight condemned for opposing Barbarossa’s rule; his daughter, Hermengarde, hopes to win her father’s pardon before the sentence is carried out. As imperial authority and the cities’ hunger for freedom collide, loyalty and love face a hard test. Can Hermengarde save Bonello from the fate already prepared for him?
