They are not afraid of thunder, father.

Someone is out there.

Oh my God!

You frightened me.

What on earth are you doing out there

with this weather?

I want to talk to you. Alone.

I'm listening.

I'm heading north to Barbarossa.

You tell me things I already know.

Yes, the fact is...

There are two females in this home,

for which have you come?

I'm asking for the hand

of your daughter, Tessa.

Tessa...

Tessa is in age for a husband.

ou are looking for a wife.

It's a start, maybe a good one.

Then you'll speak to her?

Yeah, yeah, I'll tell her your intention.

I have everything planned.

Understood.

Till my return.

We are finally here.

That's the part of Italy

hat has to be conquered

if you want to reach Sicily,

our Highness.

What about Rome?

It's right in the middle,

it's not going to be that easy.

Rome is weak and sick,

you just have to wait a little more.

How long?

That avid and stubborn Englishman

hat took on the name of Pope

Adrian the IV has one foot

n the grave already.

And our cardinals tell me

that his successor

ill be much more malleable.

Soon, very soon,

you will be able to sit on the throne

hat belonged to Charlemagne.

Let's go!

Got you.

Siniscalco Barozzi.

He came to our house last night.

He asked for the hand

of my sister Tessa.

Barozzi's a worm.

Barozzi will never take my sister

0 the altar.

And how can you be so sure?

Well I...I can feel it.

So what they say is...is true,

you are sort of a...witch.

No. Wait.

Wait.

I brought you something.

With this spoon

I will take care of you

or the rest of my life.

What? What...

what's wrong? Hey...

Damn it.

Eleonora. Hey. Are you sleeping?

No.

I wanted to show you something.

Look.

He finally made up his mind.

Raniero gave me the pledge.

Don't tell our father.

He keeps telling me that

Siniscalco Barozzi is

n eligible bachelor.

And that one day

we could even be a consul.

Our father would never have to sleep

n the same bed with Siniscalco Barozzi.

Follow your heart, Tessa.

You must follow your heart.

Hey! Got some sleep, you two.

Tomorrow is another day.

My heart has already decided

So this is the way it must be.

Oh my God...

You may go in.

I'm to confer directly to the emperor.

I'm afraid you'll have to content

ourself with conferring with me.

I bring Milan's oath of allegiance.

Milan is a city with short memory.

I don't understand.

You do understand,

you were there too

when that Milanese consul of yours

rampled on the imperial seal.

I Rainald of Dassel was humiliated...

made fun of...beaten by your rabble.

How dare you?

I have also come to apologize.

There is no more time for words.
