Official description

King Richard has been slain and all of England thrown into civil war. Only one person can lay siege against the enemy and outwit the vile Normans to restore order to the war-torn land.
In this one-player, arcade-style action combat and strategy game, players must face their foes on the battlefield or in grand tournaments of chivalry.
Players enter majestic tournaments where they joust for fame, fortune, and land, and engage their rivals in intense sword-fighting duels and castle- shattering catapult sieges. Whether players are rescuing beautiful damsels, crushing their rivals in battle while defending their territories from invasion, or building their armies and reputation through a stunning variety of arcade sequences, victory will not come easily.
Skills, swordsmanship, and military prowess will be severely tested as players battle to save England and win the love of many a beautiful damsel.
