'Time And Chance', part two of an enthralling trilogy about Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine, opens during the glory years of their reign.
Their partnership was proving highly productive, both politically - as Henry redefined the role of medieval kingship - and literally, as Eleanor gave birth to their children, founding a dynasty that would endure for three hundred years. But even in these happy times, shadows were lurking.
Battles with the Welsh and the French king. The disastrous appointment of Thomas Becket as Archbishop of Canterbury. And when Henry took lovely young Rosumund Clifford into his bed, little did he realise that in making an enemy of his proud, passionate queen he was making the gravest mistake of all . . .
