Inspired by remarkable true events

1402. Queen Margrete successfully rules Sweden, Norway and Denmark together into a peaceful union. However as a woman, she is forbidden from the throne, so governs indirectly through her adopted son, King Erik.

The alliance is precarious and when a mysterious man presents himself at the palace, professing to be Margrete’s long-dead biological son (and thus laying claim to the throne) she’s faced with an impossible dilemma, one that threatens everything she’s worked for.

Critics Reviews:

• “Margrete Queen of the North is a superbly mounted drama set in a variety of Scandinavian countries at the end of the 14th century and the beginning of the 15th century.” – David Stratton (The Australian)

• “It’s a big, dark, roiling cauldron of politics and emotion, and satisfying as all that – even if a lot of it is speculation.” – Paul Byrnes (Sydney Morning Herald)

• ""Margrete: Queen of the North" [has] just enough historical and political heft to justify the epic scope of the filmmaking…" – Jessica Kiang (Variety)
