The Plantagenets of England have family problems. King Henry wants rid of his wife to marry his young mistress and produce more heirs. Queen Eleanor seeks to secure the throne for her eldest son, using her wiles and dowry lands in the bargaining. Two other sons connive to gain the crown for themselves. Peter O'Toole and Katharine Hepburn starred in the Oscar-winning film version of this breath-taking swordfight of comic repartee and clever manipulation.
