The Revolt of the Eaglets
By
Jean Plaidy
News of Thomas à Becket's martyrdom has spread throughout
Christendom and the blame is laid at the feet of Henry Plantagenet, King of
England. Two years later, with Becket canonised, Henry's position is
precarious: punished at the Pope's insistence for his part in Becket's
death, he now also has an enemy in his Queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine, after
her discovery of his longstanding infidelity with Rosamund Clifford.
Eleanor is determined to seek vengeance, so, with King Philip of France,
she encourages her sons to conspire, both against their father and each
other.
