While still a young man, King Henry III of England was given a queen by his Council. A few years later, when a more suitable consort is discovered, the Council decides the marriage to Eglan would be annulled and Eleanor, sister of Margaret the future consort of the King of France, would replace her. The plan is a good one except that Eglan is expecting a child. The Council decides the child should be disinherited, but not wanting him as a potential claimant to the throne he is to be murdered. The captain of the king's garrison is trusted with the dirty deed, but the queen's lady's maid spares the child's life, giving him to a young peasant girl. Though Albert lives his life in obscurity, the secret of his rescue cannot be hidden for ever. Events bring his existence to light and the perils and challenges that face him are soon endured. The Noble Prince covers the years 1228 to 1265 in England, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
