The Devil’s Crown sat on three heads and drove them mad.
Henry Plantagenet won the crown through conquest and cleverness after he married the beautiful Eleanor of Aquitaine.
Proud and ambitious, he feared only the wrath of God — and his rebellious sons …
When Eleanor turned his children against him, he found himself at war with his own sons.
Richard Plantagenet inherited the crown from Henry, but not before he’d tried to kill for it.
Eleanor’s favourite son, Richard led the crusades and died childless in battle.
Chivalrous and cultured, he led his father’ empire to victory and conquest — and was brought low by his sins of pride and lust …
John Plantagenet lost the crown, having waited his entire life for it.
Treacherous and wholly ruthless, he could not subdue his rebellious kingdom — or the madness that gnawed his soul.
Brash and murderous, John died with nothing.
British history as you’ve never heard it before. These were the men who wore The Devil’s Crown
The Devil’s Crown is a dark and compelling tale based on a BBC Television Series.
