All Of Britain And Half OF France Were His Kingdom. But There Was One Thing Henry II Would Never Control...His Family.

In winter of 1183, a royal family prepares for a joyous Christmas holiday reunion of scheming, conniving and deceit. King Henry II summons his cunning prison-bound wife to his side as he prepares to announce the succession of the throne to one of his double-crossing three sons, none of whom are qualified to rule the monarchy. Based on James Goldman's Academy Award®-winning screenplay, this stellar cast is lead by celebrated Golden Globe® and Emmy® nominee Patrick Stewart (Moby Dick, King of Texas) and the incomparable Emmy® winner and Oscar® nominee Glenn Close (Fatal Attraction).
