REBEL. LEADER. BROTHER. KING.

1179. Henry II is King of England, Wales, Ireland, Normandy, Brittany and Aquitaine. The House of Plantagenet reigns supreme.

But there is unrest in Henry's house. Not for the first time, his family talks of rebellion.

Ferdia - an Irish nobleman taken captive during the conquest of his homeland - saves the life of Richard, the king's son. In reward for his bravery, he is made squire to Richard, who is already a renowned warrior.

Crossing the English Channel, the two are plunged into a campaign to crush rebels in Aquitaine. The bloody battles and gruelling sieges which followed would earn Richard the legendary name of Lionheart.

But Richard's older brother, Henry, is infuriated by his sibling's newfound fame. Soon it becomes clear that the biggest threat to Richard's life may not be rebel or French armies, but his own family...

After reading about William Marshall, I already knew I wanted to listen to something about The Lion Heart so glad I came across this one and will be buying the next book. Keeps your attention and I constantly wanted to know what happened next.

Loved it.

recommend, knew the names but little about the period. To think we once ruled west France until Henry 6th withdrew! Enjoyed the story of a young man's social integration and rise, now to read the next book.

Good historical novel.
