Three Lions

Set in 12th Century Europe, Richard the Lionheart’s absence and suspected death creates a power vacuum. Arthur his designated heir by law, is being denied his rightful place as King of England by his own grandmother, Eleanor of Aquitaine. Arthur’s mother, Constance — the passionate, liberal young Duchess and ruler of Brittany — is fiercely protective and adamant that her child will secure his birthright and become King of England. Constance and Arthur are in a perilous position with few allies and, as rightful heir, Arthur is a highly desirable prize. To claim the crown and become the most powerful King in Europe they need to stay alive, outwit the opposition and choose their friends wisely.
