One of King John’s closest allies, William de Briouze, knows exactly who murdered Arthur of Brittany. When his wife, Matilda, makes a public accusation, the King does everything in his power to take revenge. John may already have a reputation for cruelty, and a vicious streak, but what happens next shakes the people of England to their core.
