The year is 1418. France is in the midst of the turmoil of the Hundred Years' War. In addition to this major conflict with England, the country is also torn apart by a bitter civil war between the Burgundians and the Armagnacs. In these troubled times, Tanneguy de Chatel has only one goal: to protect the fifteen-year-old crown prince Charles VII. Can the young heir come to terms with his fate? And more importantly, will he live long enough to claim his inheritance? The artist Theo transforms the medieval settings of this seven-part historical masterpiece into a dark dreamland of the past.
