S1·E1 Episode 1

Quentin Durward, a fiery young Scotsman in search of freedom, leaves his clan to escape a deadly vendetta. His arrival in France immediately plunges him into intrigues he could never have imagined: he crosses paths with a mysterious “Maître Pierre,” whose true identity he does not know, and finds himself involved in a public execution. Guided by his sense of justice, Quentin frees a gypsy condemned to the gallows, triggering the wrath of Tristan the Hermit's men. Despite his courage, he is captured and sentenced in turn.
