Following the exploits of King Henry II, Archbishop Thomas Becket, The Young King Henry, Richard the Lionheart, Eleanor of Aquitaine, King John and Sir William Marshal has never been so fun.But how much trouble can one dysfunctional family possibly cause?Quite a lot it turns out, especially when they are the resident Royal Family for all of England and half of France. It's time for you to meet The Early Plantagenets.There'll be some characters you've heard of before and some strangers that will no doubt become friends. Don't fret though, we'll introduce you to everyone slowly and keep it simple, we're here to have fun after all. I am sorry to say though that before our tale is complete there will be a ton of squabbling, quite a bit of treachery and it might get a bit stab-y in the middle. At least one Archbishop will, unfortunately, be very much harmed during the reading of your new book.We'll jet about too so I do hope you're comfortable travelling. Whilst our story will begin in Northern France, we'll ride back and forth across Europe and even sail to The Holy Land on Crusade - there'll be a nice stay in Cyprus too for those sun worshippers.You'll enjoy the ride...
