In Brussels in the 1560s the rebelling Flemish nobles are battling the Spanish under the Duke of Alba. The Count De Rysoor, a prominent leader, is planning an uprising aiming to hold the city until relief from William of Orange can arrive. When he discovers an affair his wife is having with a fellow officer, he at first turns a blind eye to it as he always puts his country before his private concerns. However it soon begins to put the whole conspiracy at risk.
