- A 1966 play written by James Goldman (adapted for film two years later) about the troubles in the family of Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine. The 1968 movie and its acting got high acclaim. Katharine Hepburn went on to win an Oscar for her role as Eleanor. It was also the film debut of Timothy Dalton and Anthony Hopkins, who would later go onto fame as James Bond and Hannibal Lecter, respectively. Peter O'Toole, who played Henry, also played the role in the earlier film Becket, which many consider an unofficial prequel to this film. In 2003, it was adapted again for TV, with Patrick Stewart and Glenn Close.

Both he and his wife favour a different son and since she has instigated rebellion against him before, Henry had her locked up. This experience hasn't dampened her spirit and when this lovely family goes to celebrate Christmas with the French king, the power play begins in earnest.
