Description
He ruled thousands of souls — and slept with a dagger under his pillow. This is the real day of a medieval king: no fairy tales, just power, paranoia, and the heaviest crown in the world.
Follow the King from the 3 AM storm that wakes him through the levée dressing ceremony — where handing him his shirt was politics — to morning Mass, the poison-taster's breakfast, and the council chamber where barons smiled and plotted. Watch him sit in judgment as the law itself, preside over the midday feast where every toast was an alliance, and ride out on the royal hunt where a king had to look like a warrior every single day. Then into the glittering danger of the evening: the Queen's bower, minstrels singing paid-for lies, fools mocking treason — and the King's eyes, never stopping, counting empty seats, remembering every slight. Alone at last behind barred doors, the most powerful man in the kingdom tries to do what peasants do without thinking: sleep.
