I find her so very fascinating - a powerhouse for her time! Would love to see this.
Hi Medieval Muse! Oh, you're right...i would love to see her tomb effigy, too! Love that she's reading :O)
Eleanor is my favorite character in all of history! So fascinating and unique for her time, and indeed for any time ...I also love "Lion in Winter," even though we know it is a highly fictionalized and romanticized account of a family Christmas!Thank you Mette' - once again we have a thing or two in common!
Oh yes Ricka...we have a thing or two in common!! ....and I adore 'highly fictionalized and romanticized account of a family Christmas' :O)
A new book Alienor - The Young Life of Eleanor of Aquitaine about her girlhood that made her what she became.
Oh, thank you so, so much...I just have to look it up!
