Roles
| Role | M/F | Age | Description | Henry II, King of England | M | 45-65 | Though aging, Henry is still very nearly as vital as he ever was. | Queen Eleanor | F | 45-55 | Eleanor is the wife of Henry and a beautiful woman of hot temperament, and great authority and presence. | John | M | 18-23 | He is the youngest son of Henry and Eleanor. He is sulky and sullen, with a boyish outlook on his position; often described as a spoiled brat. | Geoffrey | M | 20-25 | He is the middle son of Henry and Eleanor, and a man of energy and action. He is attractive, charming and has the strongest intellect of the family; he is also a cold, amoral schemer. | Richard | M | 25-30 | The eldest son of Henry and Eleanor, Richard is handsome, graceful and impressive and has been a famous soldier since his middle teens. War is his profession and he is good at it. | Alais Capet | F | 24-28 | She is in love with Henry. Everyone underestimates her intellect and power. | Philip II, King of France | M | 18-23 | He is not as accomplished as Henry in manipulating people, but seems to acquire greater skills. He is impressive and handsome without being pretty. |
