Montfort: The Early Years - 1229 to 1243

3.6/5 ( ratings)

Simon begins his life in England as a callow and prudish youth who must win his family’s lapsed earldom at King Henry’s dissolute Court. Soon Simon’s pride and presumption are shattered as he first becomes obsessed with a passion for the young heretic Queen Eleanor, and then falls in love with a nun who is the King’s sister. High points: a jousting tournament, the decadent Rome of the emperor Frederic II, the Court of Love and the medieval pageantry of the Wedding Progress of King Henry III.
