Plot
editTordenskjold has been appointed Vice-Admiral after the war against Sweden. He is extremely restless after a period of the successful naval battles. He is a prominent hero in Denmark and a draw in the corporate world. His butler Kold works as the hero's impressionario and arranges his visits to suitable companies. Kold also tries to arrange a marriage with a rich English noblewoman for him. To meet her, he travels through southern Jutland, to some of the great cities of northern Germany. But when he reaches Hanover, he is tricked into a duel, apparently arranged by vengeful Swedes.[1][2]
