Ingiborg hat nach ihrer Entführung von Island in Hedeby (Haithabu) eine Bleibe gefunden. Als gute Seele einer Schänke kümmert sie sich um den Durst der Männer und die Sorgen der Huren. Sie findet sogar einen Gemahl, doch Trygve fällt im Kampf um Haithabu. Ingiborg wird von König Heinrich aus der Wikingerstadt vertrieben. Sie beschließt, mit Hilfe des Sachsen Hermann, der ihr sexuell verfallen ist, am gegenüberliegenden Schleiufer das Dörfchen Sliastorp zu einer Stadt namens Slesvig auszubauen, gerät aber wegen ihres neuen Hurenhauses mit der christlichen Kirche aneinander.

Welcome to Saturnalia, the Roman festival renowned for wild displays of sensuality and vice. Servants become masters and masters become servants as rich and poor alike revel in the thrill of role-reversal and the joy of debauchery. A rich Roman woman allows two of her lovesick servants a night of pleasure with each other, as long as she can indulge her secret desire for shame by watching them.

The English Manor House has long been a world apart where landed gentry freely indulge in their passions, not only for outdoor sports, but the indoor variety as well. Lascivious activities are enthusiastically, pursued by lusty men and sensual women behind large and imposing stone walls, hidden from prying eyes. In that bygone era – the 1920s, relations between men and women were not as progressive as they are today. Hopefully, modern listeners won’t be too terribly offended by the less-than-sensitive treatment young Philippa Gresham-Cantwell is made to endure.
