The year is 1120 and the mood aboard The White Ship is exultant. The young lords of England and Normandy are celebrating beating the French by drinking and carousing late into the night. Among them, England's heir - William Aetheling.
But leaving for a crossing of the English Channel so late and completely half-cut, the party was about to be cut savagely short.
The outcome led to one of England's most brutal civil wars and to the rise of the Angevins and an Empire that stretched from Scotland to the borders of Spain.
Listen now to the stories of one of England's greatest dynasties, of the likes of Richard the Lionheart and King John, and cataclysmic battles in France, Scotland, Sicily and the Holy Land.
