About this listen
Rebel. Leader. Brother. King.
1179. Henry II is King of England, Wales, Ireland, Normandy, Brittany and Aquitaine. The House of Plantagenet reigns supreme.
But there is unrest in Henry's house. Not for the first time, his family talks of rebellion.
Ferdia - an Irish nobleman taken captive during the conquest of his homeland - saves the life of Richard, the king's son. In reward for his bravery, he is made squire to Richard, who is already a renowned warrior.
Crossing the English Channel, the two are plunged into a campaign to crush rebels in Aquitaine. The bloody battles and gruelling sieges which followed would earn Richard the legendary name of Lionheart.
But Richard's older brother, Henry, is infuriated by his sibling's newfound fame. Soon it becomes clear that the biggest threat to Richard's life may not be rebel or French armies, but his own family....

"A rip-roaring epic, filled with arrows and spattered with blood. Gird yourself with mail when you start." (Paul Finch)
"Ben's deeply authoritative depiction of the time is delivered in a deft manner." (Simon Scarrow)

brilliant
i thoroughly enjoyed this...the only way it could be better is a different choice of narrator..Pbillip did a great job nut I think this story requires a harder voice. Eagerly awaiting the next book to be released on audible..

great historical content
loved the content and historical accuracy for the most part. the narrators voice does take a bit of getting used to however, somewhat monotone.

Great listen
Been looking forward to this once since it was announced.
Great job creating characters we love and hate. Definitely feel that I wish it was part of a series of books so that Ben could really expand on certain parts.
Thoroughly enjoyed it and will be preordering the next one soon as it’s available!
Keep it up

A wonderful story about Rufus, an Irish hostage, and how he becomes one of Richard’s knights. I look forward to the second instalment.
