Movie Summary: [Action/Adventure]

    Charlton Heston heads a first-rate cast in this exciting historical epic set against the bloody backdrop of the barbaric Dark Ages. Heston stars as Chrysagon, an 11th-century Norman knight and war lord, who is given command of a Druid peasant village. Battling enemies from both the North and his own ranks, the lonely warrior becomes consumed with passion for the beautiful Bronwyn (Rosemary Forsyth), engaged to the son of the tribe's chieftain. Convinced by his plotting brother (Guy Stockwell) to impose an ancient law stating that nobleman may have "right to first night" with any bride, Chrysagon falls in love with the newlywed and refuses to set her free. This sets the stage for betrayal, bloody battles, murder and forbidden love as Chrysagon and Bronwyn vow never to part.
