In 1192, Richard I leaves the Holy Land with Jerusalem still beyond his control and his kingdom threatened by Philip II of France and his brother John. Travelling home with Ferdia, Richard faces shipwreck, hostile territory and capture by Leopold of Austria. While an enormous ransom is demanded, Eleanor of Aquitaine works to preserve her son's realm. Richard must survive imprisonment, return to England and then fight to recover the continental lands lost during his absence.
