“Book Descriptions: In 1154 Henry II came to the throne with his queen, the formidable Eleanor of Aquitaine, and established the Plantagenet dynasty that would endure for more than 330 years. Matthew Lewis tells the story of this medieval power couple's personal and political intrigues, their creation of the Angevin Empire, and the fractious behaviour of their sons, whose rebellion forced Henry into military confrontation.”
