MEDIEVAL MONARCHS

Charismatic and commanding, Henry II clashes with his former friend Thomas Becket, opening a rift with Rome. His line extends through Richard the Lionheart, who bankrolls the Crusades; John, who signs the Magna Carta; Edward I, "Hammer of the Scots," whom moviegoers know from Braveheart; and eventually Henry V, Shakespeare's hero, who turns his attention to conquest.
