Not to be missed. -- Tracey Borman\u003cbr\u003e‘Sara Cockerill’s new biography of Eleanor of Aquitaine is a welcome addition to the literature on this fascinating medieval queen. There have been many books on Eleanor, but too many repeat myths and misconceptions about her. Cockerill’s careful historical detective-work digs behind the mythology to reveal what we know about the real Eleanor of Aquitaine.’ -- Michael Evans, author of Inventing Eleanor\u003cbr\u003eThis scholarly, well-written book provides a welcome reassessment of the extraordinary life of a woman who was successively queen of France and of England. Sara Cockerill deploys forensic skills in a thoroughly readable study solidly based on the sources. Eleanor of Aquitaine is revealed not as a romantic heroine, but as a woman faced with extraordinary problems, from her unsatisfactory marriage to Louis VII of France, to her turbulent relationship with Henry II of England and her rebellious sons. -- Michael Prestwich, Emeritus Professor of History, Durham University\u003cbr\u003e‘Blows the other biographies out of the water!’ -- Elizabeth Chadwick, author of The Summer Queen","brand":"Amberley Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48739278487895,"sku":"9781445646176","price":21.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781445646176.jpg?v=1720051742","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/eleanor-of-aquitaine-9781445646176","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
