Witness Henry emerge from The Anarchy to become Europe's most powerful ruler through marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine, creating the vast Angevin Empire from Scotland to the Pyrenees.

Enter the tragic friendship with Thomas Becket—from intimate companions to bitter enemies when Becket became Archbishop. Watch Henry's frustrated words "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" spark the murder that shocked medieval Europe and created England's beloved martyr.
