The Kingdom of Sicily, early thirteenth century. The Holy Roman
Emperor Frederick II has, through invasion and marriage, expanded
his empire, but always subject to the will of the pope and the
rulings of the Church. Into this world of political and military
intrigue steps Michael Scot, a young monk and barbarian from
Scotland who tutored Frederick as a boy. Headstrong and determined,
Michael Scot persuades the Emperor that translating the lost works
of Aristotle would bring him a secret knowledge of science,
medicine and astronomy that would advance his cause. Despite the
pope declaring such translations heretical, the Emperor agrees that
the Scot should proceed, sending him first to the famous
translation schools of Toledo and from there to the Moorish library
of Cordoba.
