Plot
At the royal court, the beautiful and loud-mouthed princess is amused by all her stupid suitors, who are thrown out one by one because they cannot marry her. Outside the old stave church, the king's soldiers read out the regulation on branding. Poor Askeladd and his two smug older brothers decide to set off to try their luck. To everyone's astonishment, Askeladd manages to best the princess, and the two brothers fail. Askeladd is rewarded with the princess and half the kingdom, and the brothers are branded.
