Eager to do God' s work, Richard vanished to the Holy Land. John immediately set himself up as a rival, creating a virtual state within a state, complete with his own court and mercenary army. In 1192, when news arrived of Richard' s captured on his way back from the Crusade, John quickly declared his brother dead and himself King. Eleanor was torn to pieces by this fratricidal struggle. She' d been bred to do what Angevins do best, to preside over government, to manipulate politics. But now she was paralysed by the tragedy of her own family. In desperation, she turned to the Holy Father, to whom she wrote an extraordinary letter. |
