The War Lord

This is an historical dramatic movie about a knight who must defend a coastal village. Part of a Duke’s land includes a village on the coast. He had wanted a castle there to defend the village but it has not come to pass. The area cannot support a building that large and complex. The barbarians are at the border and approaching this village. The Duke sends one of his most trusted knights to set up a defense for the village from these roving pillagers.

The knight makes a good beginning on defenses. He is distracted when he meets and falls in love with one of the local women. The barbarians are still approaching.
