THE CASUAL HISTORIAN PRESENTS boutiques THE EARLY PLANTAGENETS by Alan McLean NEUF

Following the exploits of King Henry II, Archbishop Thomas Becket, The Young King Henry, Richard the Lionheart, Eleanor of Aquitaine, King John and Sir William Marshal has never been so fun.

But how much trouble can one dysfunctional family possibly cause?

Quite a lot it turns out, especially when they are the resident Royal Family for all of England and half of France. Its time for you to meet The Early Plantagenets.

Therell be some characters youve heard of before and some strangers that will no doubt become friends. Dont fret though, well introduce you to everyone slowly and keep it simple, were here to have fun after all. I am sorry to say though that before our tale is complete there will be a ton of squabbling, quite a bit of treachery and it might get a bit stab-y in the middle. At least one Archbishop will, unfortunately, be very much harmed during the reading of your new book.

Well jet about too so I do hope youre comfortable travelling. Whilst our story will begin in Northern France, well ride back and forth across Europe and even sail to The Holy Land on Crusade - therell be a nice stay in Cyprus too for those sun worshippers.

Youll enjoy the ride...
