In 1165, Frederick Banastre enters the royal household as steward to the young Prince Richard, son of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Friendship with the prince gives Frederick access to court but also draws him into the conflict between the ageing king, Young Henry and the sons who expect to divide the Angevin dominions.
Campaigning in France transforms Frederick from servant into soldier and binds his fortunes to Richard’s. Rebellion within the royal family and the memory of the Second Crusade point towards the greater expedition to come, while Frederick learns that loyalty to a prince can require disobedience to a king.
