What to expect
When one war ends, another begins . . .
England, 1154. With King Henry II taking the throne, the long civil war that has ravaged England has finally come to an end.
But conflict is now coming from overseas. Henry has inherited territories over the English Channel that are being contested by King Louis VII of France.
And the new king's marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine is strained—and becomes even more so when he threatens the Church of England and Thomas Beckett.
The people of England once more find their loyalties divided as they struggle over whether to defend church or state.
Will the conflict in the royal household influence Henry's reign? Will Louis wage war on England? Will England ever find peace?
