But while lust would divide them, it was friendshipand ultimately faiththat brought bloodshed into their midst. It began with Thomas Becket, Henrys closest confidant, and his elevation to be Archbishop of Canterbury. It ended with a perceived betrayal that made a royal murder seem inevitable. Along the way were enough scheming, seductions, and scandals to topple any kingdom but their own. . . .
