Der Löwe im Winter (1968)
Intrigen, Neid, Machtgier, Rachsucht und Eitelkeiten bestimmen das Leben des britischen Königshauses im Jahre 1183. Nachdem der älteste Sohn gestorben ist, muss die Thronfolge neu geklärt werden. Da zwischen König Heinrich II. und seiner Frau Eleanor von Aquitanien jedoch schon seit 31 Jahren eine Hassliebe besteht, scheint eine Einigung praktisch unmöglich. Jeder will das größte Stück des Königskuchens und versucht die Nachfolge der Monarchie durch seinen eigenen Lieblingssohn zu sichern. So taktieren alle eifrig, schmieden untereinander feierliche Bündnisse, um sie kurze Zeit später zu verraten. Mal wird mit blankem Schwert, mal mit spitzem Dolch, doch stets mit scharfer Zunge um die Wahrung der eigenen Interessen gekämpft.
