When Edward manipulates their son into a treasonable act and makes him a pawn in his power play, Godiva'sferociousmaternal instincts rise to the fore. As the courtly scheming undermines Godiva's hitherto solid marriage and drives her to despair and confusion, the stage is set for a story so powerful its impact has survived for a thousand years.
