I’m not sure if Molina is the best Henry II I’ve seen or heard, but this performance of the play is darn good. The repartee is well done and even with just the audio you can hear the passion and disgust that Henry Eleanor feel for each other.
Terrific book, by the author of The Lion in Winter. A very sympathetic look at King John, and revealing some of the misery that he must have known in his life as the littlest brother of a very talented family. Worth the hunt to find. Five stars.
Re-read.Despite its obvious inaccuracies this is still my favourite fiction about Henry and Eleanor. Love the snark!!
