England, 1341. Joan of Kent has secretly married the soldier Thomas Holland, but while he is abroad her royal family compels her into a second union with William Montagu. The arrangement places a young woman between aristocratic obedience, canon law and a private promise that powerful relatives would prefer to erase.
Joan refuses to abandon Holland and pursues recognition of their marriage through a papal inquiry. Her challenge develops into a public scandal involving Edward III's court and the politics of the Hundred Years' War, testing how far rank can control a woman's legal identity and whether persistence can overcome a decision made on her behalf.
