MaryKate, have you seen Lion In Winter, with Hepburn? It was terrific.

MaryKatherine (opheliaellie131) | 202 comments I actually own it because my mother is OBSESSED with it. She took a class when she went back to college on conflict resolution and said she used parts of that movie to illustrate points she wanted to make. SO excited to watch it now :)

So sad about Becket. His relationship with Henry was obsessive and Plaidy has Eleanor make a comment that it was like they were lovers. Has this possibility ever been discussed or is that too far fetched?

No, I don't think an improper relationship had ever crossed anyone's mind as far as Becket is concerned. I still wonder about Lionheart tho.

MaryKatherine (opheliaellie131) | 202 comments Okay, because as far as I knew this was the first time I've heard a subtle mention of the possibility of a romantic relationship between Henry and Becket. And I completely agree about Lionheart!
