In the Capital of Nidaros, a corrupt Bagler aristocrat named Gisle conspires with the former queen Margaret to have king Haakon murdered, promising to return her to power as queen. Margaret's daughter Kristin overhears this and confronts her, but her mother claims that exposing the plot would mean certain death for them, scaring Kristin into secrecy.
Margaret poisons Haakon and departs Norway for her native Sweden. Before he dies, however, Haakon reveals he has a son with a woman named Inga, and has sent Torstein and Skervald, two Birkebeiner agents, to find him. Gisle later leads a coup against his brother Inge and plans to marry Kristin.
After initially securing Inga and her son Haakon, Skervald returns home, only to be seized by Baglers, having been lead there by a Birkebeiner traitor. After Skervald reluctantly reveals Haakon's location, the Baglers murder his wife and infant child, though he narrowingly escapes.
Skervald arrives at the Birkebeiner camp to warn them of the impending attack. After he reveals that he told the Baglers their location, however, the fort leader plans to execute Skervald. Distracted by this, the Birkebeiner guards are ambushed and overwhelmed by the Baglers assault, though this allows Skervald to break free with Torstein, Inga and Haakon.
After numerous attacks by Baglers, Torstein and Skervald arrive at a village and rally the locals for a finale fight. In the battle, Skervald protects Inga and Haakon, while managing to kill the Bagler who murdered his family, though he is fatally wounded in the process.
On the day of Gisle's planned wedding to Kristin, Torstein,and the other Birkebeinern enter Nidaros and free Inge.
Gisle is subsequently seized and taken away, presumably to be executed. Haakon is officially secured as the next king, and a text explains that "during his reigh, there was peace in Norway".
