The Royal Griffin

Proud daughter of King John, the beautiful Eleanor loved and wed the younger son of a Norman baron, Simon de Montfort. His qualities of leadership raised him to a position of great importance in England. But when King Henry III grew jealous of Simon's reputation, the inevitable tragedy occurred. Throughout a lifetime of conflict and divided loyalties, Eleanor never lost sight of her royal heritage as King Henry's sister. Yet never did she forsake the man capable of bringing her to the same passion in her middle years as he had on their wedding night.
