The Most Powerful Queen

It goes without saying that Eleanor of Aquitaine was a force of nature. She was the wife of kings, the mother of kings, a duchess in her own right, and a tool of no man. She was headstrong and independent in an age when women were essentially to be seen and not heard.

Inside you'll hear about

  • Childhood in Aquitaine
  • Conflict
  • Penitent Crusade
  • A New Kingdom
  • Rebellion, Ransom and Retribution
  • Palace Politics
  • The Third Crusade
  • Ransom
  • Sunset

And much more!

Eleanor’s life was as extraordinary as the times in which she lived, and in many ways she was the most modern woman in medieval France. The book tells you about bright events of the lives of her husbands and sons, who left a mark in the history of Europe.

I did enjoy this short book although I wish that there was more available about her ling life. I that regard so much was missed. But I did enjoy listening about her life.

A most powerful woman in her own right.

A very interesting story. I am a fan of English history and this is before everything I have read. It gave me a basis of what I have been reading. Now curious as to other characters before Queen E 1.

As much history as soap opera. For those who want to know the start of The Plantagenets, start here! I loved it.

Very good history book

Interesting, a very strong woman in History married to two kings - the 2nd was Henry II, a very powerful historical figure in England.

I love history, historical fiction, and master courses, so in listening to this audiobook I expected a bit more depth...this was more of an overview, and maybe that was the intention, but for me the brevity was just disappointing. You did not have a chance to be into the story. I think that Eleanor deserves better. Ok if you want cliff notes.

so simplified
