'MAXIMILIAN' EPIC SERIES
ON THE FOUNDER OF HABSBURGS
Thanks to our spies over at Costumical World, I found out that Austrian national broadcaster ORF is currently (from March 1st till March 3rd) airing lavish 15 million Euro worth epic mini series MAXIMILIAN, spectacular three part show which brings the moving story of the "last knight" Maximilian I of Habsburg and Maria of Burgundy. Power politics, intrigue, love and hatred dominate the 15th century set series about the prominent figure which laid the foundation stones for the realms of the power thirsty Habsburgs! The series was shot in almost 60 different castles, using more than 3,000 
extras, 550 horses and 100 armours! Check out the gorgeous trailer below, it is in German, but it is lovely to watch.
LOVE AND POLITICS
Maria (Christa Théret), the beautiful and wise daughter of the deceased ruler of Burgundy, must marry to continue his legacy urged by the impatient candidates and her own court! Maximilian (Jannis Niewöhner), the recalcitrant son of Austrian Emperor Frederick (Tobias Moretti), is to receive her hand in marriage. Burgundy is rich and Austria needs money.
Maximilian, however, has his hands full with hunting and women.
When Mary dares to rule alone, she makes the powerful France her enemy.
The unknown Maximilian from the wild East of Europe becomes her last 
hope. The King of France (Jean Hugus Anglade) brings his son, who
is still a child, into the game as a spouse. When Maximilian arrives to
her country, political love creates a true love affair and they become
lovers. 
As the Duke of Burgundy, Maximilian must make harsh decisions
and go on the battlefield, as France wants to take Burgundy. Maximilian will later on become Holy Roman Emperor.

It's been a long time since I've been first here dahlink.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to Oasis. Some new Sci-Fi would certainly be appreciated. Amazon has a couple of interesting things of late. Right now I'm watching The Night Manager with Hiddleston an am lurving it.
you can always be the first if you drop by around 20h Central European Time :) That is when I usually post, sometimes earlier, sometimes a bit later.
DeleteWe do love Hiddles, you know he is my second choice for marriage beside Richard Madden!
I'll agree with Anne. Oasis does look good and I've been wanting to catch up on The Night Manager my self. I didn't realize that it was on Amazon now, so I'll need to find some time to squeeze that in.
ReplyDeleteI know that is has Hiddleston's nekkid bum in it!
DeleteOasis sounds interesting, Dez.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see it, Madden is my biggest love ever
