THREE LIONS would be a ten part 12th century series which begins when King Richard I is shipwrecked somewhere off the coast of Trieste and his disappearance starts an epic struggle across Europe for its most powerful crown. His lawful heir Prince Arthur is being denied the throne of England by his own grandmother, Eleanor of Aquitaine who, as Regent Queen, has no intention of relinquishing her power and wants to keep the Regent position by putting her other son John Lackland on the throne. But Arthur’s mother, Duchess Constance, the ruler of Brittany, will certainly stand in her way. To claim the crown and become the most powerful King in Europe Arthur needs to stay alive, outwit the opposition and choose his friends wisely. Meanwhile the Machiavellian King Phillip of France sees an opportunity and is manoeuvring to take advantage of the English crown for himself. The series will be shot next year in Europe with an international cast!
