I den andra delen av två om Sveriges konung Gustav Vasa får vi följa honom under hans sista tredjedel i livet, från 1540 till hans död 1560. Runt 1540 var relationen till Danmark ansträngd samtidigt som missnöjet jäste på flera håll inom riket. Framför allt i Småland där ett bondeuppror, lett av Nils Dacke, startades 1542.
