NEW, previously unreleased EPISODE!
The sinking of the White Ship has robbed King Henry of his heir. In a bid to secure his legacy, the king hastily marries - and later commands his daughter, Matilda, to marry a sometime ally, sometime enemy of his kingdom.
But events unfold contrary to King Henry's wishes - and upon his death - old enemies become unexpected allies, oaths are broken, and a kingdom witnesses a rush to seize the crown of England, as the old king's nephew, Stephen, makes a bid for power against his cousin, Matilda.
