During the latter part of the 17th century, MAGNUS STYHR, serf of BARON BOTHWELL, Laird of Castle Wood, makes a decision that is to change his life forever. Magnus fails to ask permission to marry his sweetheart, SARAH CAMPBELL, beds her and denies Baron Bothwell his "Right of the First Night" also known as droit du seigner - a legal right in Europe allowing feudal lords to have sexual relations with married women on their wedding night. In an age when tyrannical barons governed with an iron fist and cared little for the welfare of their serfs, Baron Bothwell, a rather wicked and sadistic man, denied of this right, becomes so enraged... what occurs next can only lead to disaster.
