Told in part through the chronicle of the abbot Milo, Richard’s lifelong friend, the novel follows the Lionheart from his youth as Count of Poitou through his reign and crusade. At its heart is his passion for Jehane Saint-Pol, who gives herself to him, and the politics that force him to marry the Princess Berengaria of Navarre.
