Let us know come to a halt this way.

It is still light for two hours. - We can make camp here.

Alboin, if you attack them again, victory is yours. I am right.

Only I am right.

You say there is still hope. That Alboin made camp.

That this gives us time to organize the defense.

You say we can still take Alboin to keep. Can hit him back.

But I see the fear in your eyes. - You see shame about our defeat.

We were in the minority but still we could have won.

If the cavalry came to us on time.

Amalchi and the cavalry stayed away. Just ask the generals.

Yes. Why didn't Amalchi join the fight?

He disappeared with his men at the crucial moment.

You know Amalchi. Will you say he's a coward?

Shame, father. - Rosamunde.

She's right. Amalchi is certainly not a coward.

But we are defeated because he failed as a leader.

My brother. Amalchi. Amalchi, finally. God has protected you.

I do not know. - That's blasphemy. You are saved.

I would rather have died. Someone gave me false orders.

We shouldn't have attacked the Lombards. They were our allies.

We've been stupid. I had your advice don't have to follow up, Falisco.

May God forgive you. You are king by God's goodness.

You are inspired by the Almighty.

If everyone had listened to you ... - Don't try to blame somebody else.

|I am just giving the facts. - Amalchi.

You are accused of cowardice and betrayal.

Treason has been committed, but not by me.

A messenger gave me new orders. - That messenger didn't come from me.

I realized that too late. When I arrived, the enemy was not there.

Was it one of our messengers? - He gave the password.

And you had no reservations? - No, I always follow orders.

We'd like to assume that ...

but it is also possible that you made up that messenger.

He is nowhere to be seen. - Shall I cut your tongue?

Put your sword away.

Use it against our enemies. - I am loyal.

You can be a traitor. - That is very well possible.

I know you're mad at me.

That does not play a part in the battle. God knows that Amalchi is faithful to you.

He just can't betray.

I'll prove it next time. - We'll see that later.

But now I'm taking command from you.

You gave me this sword when I defeated the Goths.

Now you are in doubtof a soldier's word.

A wise decision. You will not regret this.

You fought bravely. We are going to celebrate the victory for three days.

What is it, Falisco? - Look over there.

That's Rosamunde. Follow her unseen.

I'm going to search our new friends. Fast.

He doesn't recognize me. He thinks you are his mother.

He was so young too when he came to live here.

You cannot come often. - If only he could stay with us.

If he knows who he is he will love you.

Stay here until tomorrow. - That is not possible.

And you have to leave as soon as possible. - Does anyone know about it?

No, it is worse. The Lombards want to attack us.

My God. - Buy horses, a wagon and provisions.

Go north.

What was that? Why do the dogs bark?

Because of foreigners. - GO look.

Take care of him, Maria.

Do you remember what I said? - You can count on me.

Get the horses.

Now he is further away than ever.

You too. - They'll get him to safety.

Amalchi, why are we not going with the baby?

We cannot do that. I must not renounce my duty as a soldier.

You're right. That is impossible.

But how long do we have to hide our love from each other?

I do not know. Your father hates me since I asked him for your hand.

He did everything he could to keep us apart.

I will continue to love you. I only care about you and our child.

Nothing will keep us apart.

How can I prove myself to your father?

Have patience. One day he will understand. Now he is wary of betrayal.

He doesn't trust anyone.

Forgive him, Amalchi. Help him, he needs you.

Halt.

Who are you?

May the cross protect our friends.

Take me to your lord. - Come with me.

Greetings, Emissary of Justinian, emperor of Byzantium.

Welcome. Did we necessarily have to meet here?

I was concerned about your safety. - And yours.

I hope so. My life also belongs to the emperor.

Here is the message you have been waiting for.

Your barbarians should only know that we could make words out of nothing.

My barbarians? You don't know how much I despise them.

I can forgive a people for everything even cowardice ...

but their cultural ignorance bothers me.

We understand each other completely.

Justinian is smart. He's seen through my mind.

Our people are defeated, but the winner can make us an ally ...

and thus expand its strength. Then he is even more dangerous.

Indeed. Alboin must be stopped.

If he allies himself with the Gepids he can become very dangerous.

We can avert this danger avert with a trick.

Let's get Alboin to do it to murder the Gepids.

Then we go after Alboin himself.

Tell the Emperor that I helped Alboin to win.

How?

I have their one and only opponent sidetracked.

Amalchi, of the Cavalry. - Their greatest warrior.

Thanks to me, he fell out of favor.

Without him, the Gepids go towards their doom.

Alboin will slaughter them.

He will burn everything to ashes ...

as if it were this parchment.

My brother, according to the seers we will be victorious.

They say Alboin is unbeatable. - He should be.

You can speak. - I have the right to remain silent.

Why don't you want to say what you think?

You wouldn't listen to me because I disagree with you.

You speak then. - Our troops are standing by, Alboin.

Refuse the Gepids this peace deal.

And what do you think? - We must destroy them quickly.

Why should we give them a respite?

Do you agree with that? - Yes.

And you?

No.

Me neither.

You already celebrate the victory. Our soldiers drink and sing.

They divide the treasures and the women of the Gepids already under themselves.

And then? There we go fight the Avars and the Huns.

I didn't want this war. The Gepids leave me cold.

Why did their king attack me? Who recommended that to him?

Now you will see.

Here. Take this.

Squeeze it. Try it.

That is impossible.

Do you see how easy it is now?

This is what our enemies want, the Byzantines. They want to play us off against each other.

And then when we're on our own they attack us.

I made that up because I'm a barbarian and I can't read their books.

I can read their minds.

I will not attack the Gepids.

I, the victor, will ask for peace.

That peace will last forever. I will make our countries merge.

What do you say about that? - I have the same opinion.

I thought so. - Not me.

Your opinion doesn't count. - I can give my opinion.

The Gepids are cowards. Why should we make peace?

What can they teach us except fear of fighting?

You have a lose tongue, brother. Beautiful.

He can use it when he wants to go to the king of the Gepids as my courier.

You have to explain to him what I want.

Are you happy with that?

I refuse.

What did you say there?

No one should say that to me no one.

Not even you.

I won't cut your tongue brother.

I will have mercy on you. I will kill you.

Die fighting, as it should be. Defend yourself.

Defend yourself.

You won. Kill me.

Do you want to talk to the Gepids?

Yes, brother.

You know what I want. Give their soldiers a reward from my treasury.

I don't want the Gepids, I want Rome. And with Rome ...

the Byzantine Empire.

I knew Rosamunde from Amalchi but not that she had his child.

I've seen her hug a child.

Good to know. - Do you want that child?

No not vet.

I urgently need to speak to the king.

You, what do you want? - An envoy from the Lombards is coming.

Alboin talks about peace. Very well.

But we should know under what conditions.

We are not like the Byzantines. The conditions are fair.

We offer peace, even though we can beat you like this.

That remains to be seen. - Would you like to see it?

Stop arguing. - He's a guest here. He wants peace.

Okay, I'll talk about peace.

But my brother does not shy away from it. He offers you honorable peace.

Because dissatisfaction only leads to uprisings.

We could Kill you now.

But we don't ask for gold slaves or women.

Not even about livestock. We will not occupy you.

My brother the king just wants your friendship.

Of course he does require a guarantee.

What kind of guarantee then?

Your daughter, one who will be queen of your people.

Alboin decided to marry her.

So will the Gepids and the Lombards ...

Have one king and one queen.

As a king, I feel honored and as Rosamunde's father I am happy.

I agree. But my own daughter will confirm it.

Speak, Rosamunde.

Speak. We are waiting for you.

Do you agree, my child?

Your will is my law. I will be happy to obey you.

Through this marriage I give our people also the chance to return home.

You heard it. Tell Alboin that not only my daughter ...

but I am also happy.

Falisco. - Sir?

Make it known. There is going to be a big party.

Light bonfires. Let everyone are happy. Give everyone wine.
