Two armies converge to decide the fate of England . . .

Under her soft mask of beauty and modesty there lay the heart of a woman powered by ambition. A woman who was strong, courageous and devious . . .
Through the eyes of one of the most extraordinary women of history unfold the events leading to the invasion of England and the battle that would decide its fate . . .
