As the boy Henry grew up, it became apparent that from his mother he' d inherited steely singlemindedness, lots of physical courage and a phenomenally foul temper. From his father he' d got instinctive charm and knifesharp political and military intelligence. But the quality that anyone who ever met Henry most vividly remembered about him, the overflowing tank of energy that made him the most hyperactive King in British history, this was all his own. This was the age of chivalry, when the myth of Arthur and Camelot was at its most popular. Right from the start, Henry was being groomed by his ambitious parents to take England away from Stephen, to become a new King Arthur. And to do this, of course, he would need a Guinevere. As it happened, the perfect candidate had just become available Eleanor of Aquitaine. |
