Inglaterra, principios del siglo XIII. El 15 de junio de 1215 y, tras una dura negociación, el Rey Juan de Inglaterra, se ve obligado a firmar ciertas peticiones de los señores feudales que pretenden poner límites al uso despótico del poder por parte del Rey. El documento resultante es la Carta Magna. Un hecho insólito para un rey medieval, que veía cómo aquellos a quienes gobernaba y que debían serle fieles, le arrancaban sus prerrogativas reales. Sin embargoi, cuando hubo reunido un fuerte ejército, el rey Juan se negó a cumplir el acuerdo y se dispuso a eliminar a todos los que habían firmado la Carta Magna, poniendo a Inglaterra al borde de una guerra civil: la Primera Guerra de los Barones (1215-1217). Juan quiso castigar a aquellos que lo humillaron, entre ellos un grupo de caballeros templarios atrincherados en el castillo de Rochester, que lucharán para resistir el asedio de las tropas del rey Juan.
