Join the Rudes for A Very Special Plantagenet Christmas – hosted by that premier dysfunctional family of the 12th century. Henry II of England has reprieved his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine from prison to join their scheming sons to decide who will succeed him. Joining them is Phillip II, the young King of France, to discuss whether his sister will marry one of the sons or remain Henry’s mistress. Alliances shift, betrayals abound, and no one leaves unscathed in this wickedly funny and fiercely intelligent battle for love, power, and the English crown.
