Edmund gets caught up in the struggle between the church and crown for the inheritance of British land.
I enjoyed this episode for themes of greed and corruption portrayed, along with the hilarious position Edmund is put in by his father.
The plot is excellent, serving as a great way to put Edmund in difficult situations that he has to try to worm his way out of in comical ways.
Most of the humour is strong but it does taken certain amount of appreciation for the historical context and the darkness of the subject matter. Not all the delivery is perfect, but I still enjoyed all jokes.
Performances are excellent with Rowan Atkinson on top form along with Brian Blessed. Tim McInnerny and Tony Robinson also have great moments, particularly the scene involving religious relics.
