DragonHeart
An English knight of 'The Old Code' named Bowen mentors the Saxon Prince Einon in his ideals to make him a better king than his tyrannical father, King Freyne. While suppressing a peasant rebellion, rebels kill the king. Then a young peasant girl named Kara accidentally mortally wounds Einon's heart. Einon's Celtic mother, Queen Aislinn, has Einon taken before a dragon and asks him to save the boy's life. The dragon makes Einon promise to rule with justice and virtue and replaces Einon's wounded heart with half his own. However, Einon proves even more oppressive than his father by enslaving the former rebels that killed his father and forcing them to rebuild a Roman castle. Believing the dragon's heart corrupted Einon, Bowen swears vengeance on all dragons by hunting them down.
