The Pagan King

The Pagan King (Nameja gredzens, 2018) is a Latvian-British historical action film you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Aigars Grauba and starring Edvin Endre.

Baltic coast, 13th century. A ruthless papal envoy moves north to bring the Zemgalian tribes to heel. Their chief is poisoned, but with his final breath he hands the ring of Namejs — the symbol of royal authority — to a capable commoner who must forge an alliance of rival clans before the crusaders close in. Endre, best known from the series Vikings, brings familiar physical credibility; the setting itself is the novelty — medieval Latvia rarely appears on screen at this scale. The production was the largest in Latvian film history.
