In 1216, King John’s death leaves the nine-year-old Henry III with a divided kingdom and a regency dependent on the authority of William Marshal. Frederick Banastre and his son Alaric fear that rival magnates will use the child king’s weakness to renew civil war.
Their search for a durable protector leads towards the court of Toulouse and the conflict surrounding the Cathars, where crusading language disguises political conquest. The Banastres must distinguish religious duty from private ambition while deciding which alliance offers England the least dangerous future.
