This time we focus on King Erik's disastrous war with Holstein over Slesvig, as things take a turn for the worse when the Hansa join in. Queen Filippa helps out with the war effort and tries to get the discontented Swedes on side, before an unfortunate event means she is unable to help as the situation deteriorates...
We then end the episode with a look at archery in naval combat and what life might have been like for your average Hansa merchant sailing the Baltic sea.
