It is with a soft voice, full of menace, that our mother commands
us to overthrow our father . . . Richard Lionheart tells the story
of his mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine. In 1173, she and three of her
sons instigate a rebellion to overthrow the English king, her
husband Henry Plantagenet. What prompts this revolt? How does a
great queen persuade her children to rise up against their father?
And how does a son cope with this crushing conflict of loyalties?
Replete with poetry and cruelty, this story takes us to the heart
of the relationship between a mother and her favourite son - two
individuals sustained by literature, unspoken love, honour and
terrible violence.
