The story takes place in the year 1468. The age of feudalism and chivalry was passing away and the King of France was inciting the wealthy citizens of Flanders against his own rebellious vassal the Duke of Burgundy.
The plot centers on the medieval rivalry between Louis XI of France and Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy. Louis incites the citizens of Liège to revolt against Charles, and they seize and murder Charles's brother-in-law, Louis de Bourbon, Bishop of Liège, under the command of Louis's ally, William de la Marck, who was hoping to install his son in Louis de Bourbon's place (a real historical event which occurred in 1482).
