Lions' Forge: The Epic True Story of 5 Kings and the Lion Queen

The tumultuous reign of John Lackland, the only English king to be named John, who inherits----and loses---- an empire.

Richard Lionheart, survivor of endless battlefields, comes at last to Chalus-Chabrol as the 12th century sees its last spring.

The Plantagenet empire pays what we would call more than two billion dollars to bring its Crusader King home.

Shipwrecked twice on his way home from his Crusade, Richard finds that Leopold of Austria has a very long memory.
