Eleanor: 50’s – 60’s Queen of England, Duchess of Aquitaine, and former Queen of France, Henry’s estranged wife, has been imprisoned under house arrest for ten years for supporting her sons in an unsuccessful rebellion. A decade older than Henry, she’s always been his equal in intelligence, wit, and ambition. This role has been cast.

Richard: 20’s – early 30’s The eldest surviving son of Henry and Eleanor, Richard has been a famous soldier since his sixteenth birthday. He’s impressive and domineering but has a tense relationship with both of his parents.

Geoffrey: 20s The second eldest surviving son of Henry and Eleanor, Geoffrey is attractive, charming, and the most intelligent of the brothers. His parents, however, never consider him in the running to be king— even though he possesses the intellectual promise of a great monarch.

John: 18-early 20s The youngest son of Henry and Eleanor, John is Henry’s favorite and his chosen heir. Though he can be sweetly charming when he wishes, he has been spoiled rotten by his father, and often taunts his brothers, knowing that Henry will back him up.

Alais: 20s Daughter of the late King of France and half-sister to King Philip. She is deeply in love with Henry, many years her senior, and has been his mistress for seven years.

Phillip: 18-early 20s The young King of France, half-brother to Alais. Philip has come to Henry’s court to demand that a treaty made with his late father be fulfilled. He is relatively new to his throne and initially behaves with a commanding dignity, showing little emotion.
