Medieval Movies, The Lion in Winter

Lion In Winter DVD

It's Christmas of 1183, and Henry II (Patrick Stewart) must find a successor to his throne. He favors his youngest son John, while his wife, Eleanor, believes that their eldest son, Richard the Lionhearted, would make a better king.

While their disagreement plunges the family into a deceitful war of wills, it becomes apparent that neither of their three conniving boys are qualified for the job.

 Director Andrei Konchalovsky remakes the 1968 in this 2003 television production.
