Book description
At a time when a woman's value was measured in terms of wealth, her
vivid leadership inspired and dazzled those about her. And yet, born to
rule, she was continually repressed and threatened by the men who
overshadowed her life. This is the story of a brilliant, medieval figure
- of a princess who led her own knights to the Crusades, who was bride
to two kings and mother of Richard the Lion Heart. It is the rich,
incredible story of Eleanor of Aquitaine.
