| Duke Mrkomir is a Croatian ruler from the early medieval period who is assisted by his troublesome and corrupt cupbearer Slavomir, who also serves as the head of the intelligence agency K.O.A. (Duke's Secret Service). His wife, Anuša, is also a key member of his court and they occasionally argue. Mrkomir is unhappy because he still holds the title of duke and aspires to become king, and he has an illegitimate son, Krivomir, who is the court mace-bearer. He wants to marry his daughter to a Frankish man, but ultimately chooses to wed a Bosnian prince in order to inherit their principality. Slavomir is not interested in Abbot Držiha's plans to construct schools and educate the populace in line with the English ruler's example. Everyone is shocked by the Bosnian prince's appearance when he first arrives at Mrkomir's court. | ||||
