Karin Mansdotter is the daughter of an ordinary soldier. Still Eric XIV of Sweden falls madly in love with her. This turn of fate is appreciated by his adviser Jöran Persson because he lives in constant fear the nobles could find a way to increase their influence on the king. When Erik's plan to marry Elizabeth I of England fails, Persson condones Erik's decision to make Karin his Queen consort. The Swedish nobility resents this wedding. The isolated King eventually shows signs of distress which are used against him. In the end he is Deposition (politics) and replaced by his brother while Persson gets decapitated for treason.
