Eleanor of Aquitaine: The Richest Queen in Medieval Europe

For more than sixty years, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine was involved in all the important events in twelfth-century France and England. This wonderful book tells her tale in exquisite detail, from describing the fashionable furs and luxurious clothing she carried with her, to vivid descriptions of the court of medieval France. It recounts the harrowing battles in the Holy Land as well as the true-to-life discussions of Eleanor's many love interests. Filled with hard-to-find images--including a photo of the only remaining sculpture of the famous queen--this is a fascinating and visually stunning book.
