Dynasty

S1, E4: Dr David Starkey profiles a medieval superstar, King Henry II of England, whose dominion stretched from the moors of Scotland to the foothills of the Pyrenees, including more than half of modern France. He tells the bitter tale of his conflict with Archbishop Thomas Becket, which ended in Becket's murder; the struggle for our liberties in Magna Carta; and the beginnings of our modern parliamentary system.
