An approachable biography of medieval Europe's most powerful (and enigmatic) queen.

Eleanor of Aquitaine (1124-1204), the legendary queen of France and later England, has captivated historians for centuries. Heiress to the Duchy of Aquitaine, wife to King Henry II, and mother to Richard the Lionheart and King John, Eleanor lived a life marked by power, influence, and myth.

In it, Lindy Grant highlights the family bonds that shaped Eleanor's power and identity and demonstrates that Eleanor's story is one of resilience.
