The Heart of the Lion — Jean Plaidy

A most unholy alliance.

The resplendent epoch of the Plantagenets continues with the story of Richard the King the Lion Heart the man with a will as indomitable as his passions were perverse.

Here, too, are the women who ruled over the dawn of the Plantagenet Era. Eleanor, the supreme queen mother and the only woman who dared challenge Richard's will and his queen, Berengaria--the willing girl whose heart beat strongly for her husband, the king, who could barely endure her.
