It is shortly after Easter, the highest feast of Christianity, in the year 1074 AD. Just then, Archbishop Anno of Cologne celebrated the feast of the Resurrection of the Lord together with the Bishop of Münster. But when he sends out his servants to confiscate his guest an ideal Rhine ship that does not even belong to him for the guest's journey home, the situation in Cologne escalates in just one day. In the evening Anno should remain under siege by an angry mob outside in Cologne Cathedral, while the mob incessantly tries to tear down the cathedral portal to kill him. How this escalated so quickly, you will learn in this episode.
