Autumn 1192: after the Third Crusade, Richard the Lionheart travels back to England, where his brother John Lackland is preparing a conspiracy to seize the throne. On the way he is captured by Duke Leopold of Austria, and the tension between captivity and political alliances envelops this medieval story.

For readers interested in the Crusades and the dynastic struggles of medieval England.
Eugene Luther Gore Vidal was an American writer and public intellectual known for his cynical epigrammatic wit. His novels and essays criticized the social and sexual norms he perceived as driving American life. Vidal was heavily involved in politics, and unsuccessfully sought office twice as a Democratic Party candidate, first in 1960 to the United States House of Representatives, and later in 1982 to the United States Senate.
