Henry, the youngest of The Conquerer's sons assumes the mantle of The Lion of Justice. The death of The Conqueror left three sons to inherit his power and his wealth. Normandy for Robert, England for Rufus and for Henry, the youngest, five thousand pounds of silver. The three were natural rivals. The feckless Robert lost Norman dukedom in an orgy of impulsive extravagance. Red-haired Rufus scandalised the court with his perverse sexuality and contempt for the Church. And Henry-cleverest of all-awaited his chance to fulfil his father’s prophecy and assume the mantle of The Lion of Justice. ‘Jean Plaidy, by the skilful blending of superb storytelling and meticulous attention to authenticity of detail and depth of characterisation has become one of the country’s most widely read novelists.’ Sunday Times ‘Full-blooded, dramatic, exciting.’ Observer ‘Plaidy excels at blending history with romance and drama.’ New York Times ‘Outstanding’ Vanity Fair Less
