About This Book

A historical drama follows the upheaval at a royal court as a king’s marriage and the ambitions of a powerful churchman set off rivalries, trials, and shifts in influence. Courtly rituals, public pageantry, and legal maneuvers frame personal loss, political calculation, and the struggle between conscience and authority. Scenes alternate public ceremonies with private councils and household moments, tracing how favour, accusation, and institutional change reshape individuals and the monarchy while exploring themes of power, legitimacy, and the fragile boundaries between state and church.
