England, 1154. Henry II takes the throne after the civil war between Stephen and Matilda, but restoring royal authority opens new conflicts across his continental territories. Louis VII of France contests Henry’s power, while his marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine joins two formidable rulers whose political interests do not always coincide.
Within England, Henry’s attempt to bring the Church more firmly under royal control turns his former friend Thomas Becket into an opponent. Barons, clerics and ordinary households are forced to choose between Crown and Church as a dispute over law and jurisdiction becomes a crisis capable of damaging both the Angevin realm and the king’s family.
