The film details the history of Poland and Europe from 1518 to 1557. On the Polish throne are the last kings of the Jagiellon dynasty. In 1518, the princess of the Italian Duchy of Bari Bona Sforza of Aragon (1494-1557) solemnly entered Krakow to become the wife of the Polish King Sigismund I (1467-1548). An energetic and ambitious Italian woman begins to rebuild the political and economic life of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Poland and Lithuania), feeling hidden or obvious resistance from Polish and Lithuanian politicians (tycoons, clergy, nobility) and even her husband-king. But Queen Bona has supporters (and even admirers): Marshal Kmit, Chancellor Alifio. Poland periodically enters into military conflicts with Muscovy, Turks and Tatars, leads a Thirteen-year war with the Teutonic Order for Gdansk and Pomorie, is in a state of confrontation with the German Habsburg dynasty, whose representatives rule in Spain, Austria, Prussia and are trying to seize the Italian dowry of the Polish queen. Bona's goal is to fight the Habsburgs, who intend to expel the Sforza family from Milan and Naples and are the Jagiellons' main rivals in Central Europe.
Bona dreams of giving birth to an heir to strengthen the Jagiellon dynasty. Finally the son Sigismund II Augustus (1520-1572) was born. At the age of 9, the boy became Grand Duke of Lithuania, and a year later - King of Poland. Later, in pursuit of their political goals, the Habsburgs impose a young Polish king of brides from Vienna. King Sigismund I the Old, and then Bona, fearing a secret conspiracy of neighboring states, are forced to make concessions, urging his son to agree to these marriages. After the first unsuccessful marriage, Sigismund II August leaves for Lithuania and meets the beautiful Barbara Radziwill. The stormy and dramatic romance of “Polish Romeo and Juliet” – August and Barbara – begins, which leads to their secret marriage. Sigismund Augustus demands from the Sejm (parliament) to recognize his marriage to Barbara and seeks her coronation to the Polish throne. Insulted Bona, dissatisfied with the fact that her subject becomes the queen (“Litvinka”, “girl”), leaves for Masovia (Warsaw), and then, after the third marriage of her son, to Italy (in Bari). But she still has plans to return to Poland, to Krakow, to the royal castle on Wawel. .

Messalina (played by gorgeous Betty Roland) is a power-hungry nymphomaniac who will stop at nothing to become Empress of Rome. She brings herself to the attention of Caligula by battling in the gladiator arena and it is not long before she achieves her goal, upsetting the Emperor's youngest sister Agrippina, who hopes that her son Nero will eventually become ruler of Rome. Agrippina successfully plots Caligula's downfall, but Messalina rains on her parade by immediately jumping into the sack with his successor, Claudius. But naughty old Messalina can't commit herself to one man, and shags everyone in sight, including a grotesque, but well-endowed, frequenter of brothels, a randy midget, her eunuch(!?!?) and an ex-lover. When she ends up pregnant, and it is obvious that the father is not Claudius (since he has been away fighting in foreign lands), Agrippina finally sees her opportunity to be rid of her nemesis once and for all. close
