Um pedaço de período abrangente e enérgico que traça a ascensão do Henrique Protestante de Navarra ao passar do guerreiro do campo de batalha para o amado rei Henri IV da França. O épico do diretor Jo Baier é uma aventura classicamente divertida, ainda que com mais do que um pequeno derramamento de sangue e freqüentes interlúdios sexuais obscenos. Na França do final do século XVI, católicos e protestantes huguenotes estavam em guerra. Aparentemente buscando a paz, a rainha viúva francesa, Catherine de Medici convoca Henry para sua corte para que ele se case com a filha, unindo as duas facções em guerra. No entanto, os católicos massacraram os convidados do casamento protestante no que ficou conhecido como o massacre do Dia de São Bartolomeu e Henrique - agora casado - deve usar toda a sua astúcia para se manter vivo e manobrar para o trono.
