King Philip II
for King Philip II in Robin Hood: King of Thieves (1994)
Suggested by captainwhaddock
1199, Richard: The Lion Heart is dead, and in his place, the villainess King John has risen to the throne of England. He then sets about ridding his kingdom of all roughs and thieves, including the aponymous Robin Hood, who has been crowned “King of Thieves”. Robin, Martin and the Merry Men are driven out of England and into France, but not before Robin and Marian’s son “Roland” is taken by the English army. Once they are in France, it is clear that (being English) they are not welcome and are now being hunted down by the soldiers of King Philip II. King John decides to adopt Roland as his own son and teach him to be a royal assassin, just to cause emotional torment to Robin Hood. Robin and the Merry Men must now convince King Philip II to help them reclaim their home and save their son from King John, before he has them all executed, and Roland becomes a pawn of the English Throne.
