This film describes the distant year of 1066 AD, when the French King Wilhelm Friedrich Ludwig defeated the Saxons and ruled the United Kingdom, using powerful iron cavalry and monks to suppress the poor Saxon peasants. After more than 100 years passed down to his grandson, Henry II (Peter O'Toole), Henry II has a close friend named Toms (Richard Burton ) who is a Saxon. After Henry II took over, Toms was named Prime Minister, and with his ingenuity, he crossed the British Isles Strait and let the King of France cede three lands without a single soldier, gaining Henry II's trust and reuse. Henry II has always been at odds with the church. At this time, just as the leader died, in order to seek national stability, Henry II resolutely sent Toms to take over the position of leader. After Toms took over the priesthood, he knew more about the suffering of the people than he was the prime minister, gained the love of the people, and found his Saxon self, which attracted Henry II 's suspicion and framed him in the name of corruption. Toms had to live in other villages and practice ascetic self-cultivation. After many years, he returned to China and was still loved by the Chinese, causing the knights to panic and kill him.

Just like watching a stage play, the camera and music still seem to be exquisite, and the lines are gorgeous and witty. However, the bishop's change was too abrupt. I really don't understand how he suddenly devoted himself to religion.

King Henry II: There. That's the Great Seal of England. Don't lose it; without the seal, there's no more England, and we'll all have to pack up and go back to Normandy.
