As the daughter of the Duke of Aquitaine, Eleanor was born into a world of feasting, music, poetry and power. She was taught to sing, to sew, to read and to ride a horse, but little prepared her for a life as medieval Europe’s greatest queen. When she was just 15, she became queen of France — and only a few years later she became England’s glorious queen. Her story takes us from the castles of Aquitaine, to the battlefields of the Holy Land; from her long imprisonment to her splendid courts. Discover Eleanor’s loves and battles, her mistakes and her triumphs; her lands and her travels.
