List of Mrkomir Prvi episodes

Duke Mrkomir is a Croatian ruler from the early medieval period who is assisted by his troublesome and corrupt cupbearer Slavomir, who also serves as the head of the intelligence agency K.O.A. (Duke's Secret Service). His wife, Anuša, is also a key member of his court and they occasionally argue. Mrkomir is unhappy because he still holds the title of duke and aspires to become king, and he has an illegitimate son, Krivomir, who is the court mace-bearer. He wants to marry his daughter to a Frankish man, but ultimately chooses to wed a Bosnian prince in order to inherit their principality. Slavomir is not interested in Abbot Držiha's plans to construct schools and educate the populace in line with the English ruler's example. Everyone is shocked by the Bosnian prince's appearance when he first arrives at Mrkomir's court.

Riots break out in the principality due to famine caused by the lord Tudorić through excessive borrowing from the Russians. To calm the riots, Mrkomir arrests Tudorić and, on Slavomir's advice, organizes a trial for Tudorić that will be a spectacle for the people.

In addition to demanding a collective bargaining agreement, increased salary, paid overtime, preferential pensions, holiday pay, Christmas bonuses, and more, the executioners are threatening to go on strike. Vedran, Mrkomir's half-brother, who lives in far-off Zagorje, comes to the Principality during the most severe unrest.

Farmers and their crops are facing an increasing number of challenges due to unpredictable weather, an issue Mrkomir is expected to solve.

Mrkomir has made up his mind to wed Krivomir. Finding Krivomir a suitable girl to marry is a difficult task that Mrkomir gives to Slavomir and Držiha.

Mrkomir's childhood sweetheart, Kleofa, comes to vitist. The issue is that Kleofa is coming to retrieve the ducats she borrowed Mrkomir at interest, not to woo him again as Anuša worries.

Because Slavomir committed crimes on their territory, the Franks demand that he be extradited. Mrkomir is in anguish and must comply with Frank's ultimatum. Slavomir threatens to divulge certain awkward secrets to Mrkomir, while at the same time issuing the Frankish ultimatum.

Once more, Mrkomir is not receiving any peace from the serfs; they are requesting that he deal with the dragon that is robbing them of their lambs this time.

Mrkomir and his irate rival and rival Pribislav, engage in a culinary duel.

The enthusiasm at Mrkomir's court appears to have subsided; there are no longer any conflicts, no serfs are rising up in rebellion, and even the Franks are not inquiring as to the whereabouts of the ducats who were sent to assist the Principality in its quest for greater riches.^[3]

The Franks must choose a principality to serve as the new cultural capital. Will Pribislav or Mrkomir receive this tremendous honor? The animosity between Mrkomir and Pribislav is also intensifying as both dukes anxiously await the results of the ballot and the messenger who will deliver news from the Franks because certain requirements must be fulfilled in order to become a capital of culture.

Slavomir teaches Mrkomir and Anuša proper manners in hopes of securing a valuable alliance with a foreign prince who plans a visit.

Mrkomir introduces paid sick leave and safety rights for peasants, but when they start injuring themselves and work stops, Slavomir proposes a drastic way to push them back from sick leave.

Slavomir finds a wild man who looks like Mrkomir and trains him to handle the his dull duties until he becomes almost indistinguishable from him.

Slavomir creates the first mixed‑goods shop that inspires foreign rivals, but his rising taxes make food unaffordable and spark a boycott, which he turns to his advantage.

Mrkomir tries to stop the principality’s collapse by taking land from idle nobles and later importing foreign workers through Slavomir, who profits from the deal.^[7]

Mrkomir tries to buy Anuša a fur coat, discovers delivery‑based trade, starts e‑commerce with Slavomir’s guidance, and Anuša opens her own shop after seeing her dresses being sold.^[8]
