About this episode

Edward I is the new king of England, but he has ambitions far beyond that. He wants to be like his idol, the legendary King Arthur, and that means uniting all of Britain under the Plantagenet banner. His first target is Wales, but the people there have no intention of bending to Edward’s will.
