At the "Sign of the Golden Fleece"

A young man rebels against his father's demands over family property and seeks refuge at Oxford, where university life and Reformation debates draw him into conflicts between conservative clergy and early English Bible advocates. He endures ambush and robbery, forges alliances with reform-minded figures, and is caught up with powerful churchmen and noble families. Secret marriages, rescues, and political maneuvering intersect with efforts to render the New Testament in the vernacular, exposing tensions between tradition and reform. Episodes move from fairs and college rooms to royal palaces and taverns, culminating in personal reckonings that reflect wider religious change.
