Eleanor of Aquitaine.
A loving mother. A betrayed wife. A queen beyond compare.
Imprisoned by her husband, King Henry II, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Queen of England, refuses to let her powerful husband bully her into submission, even as he forces her away from her children and her birthright.
Freed only by Henry's death, Eleanor becomes dowager Queen of England. But the competition for land and power that Henry stirred up among his sons has intensified to a dangerous rivalry.
Eleanor will need every ounce of courage and fortitude as she crosses the Alps in winter to bring Richard his bride, and travels medieval Europe to ransom her beloved son. But even her indomitable spirit will be tested to its limits as she attempts to keep the peace between her warring sons, and find a place in the centres of power for her daughters.
Eleanor of Aquitaine's powerful story is brought to a triumphant and beautiful close by much-loved author Elizabeth Chadwick.

I have read several biographies of Eleanor's life, and although these three novels are historical fiction, the author stayed close to the facts as I know them. Such authenticity is vital to me when actual people are being portrayed. Of course an author must use a good deal of imagination to fill in details and conversations that are unknown, but those additions must be coherent with the historic record. I was impressed with how well Elizabeth Chadwick managed to do that while weaving this engaging version of Eleanor's long and eventful life.
I thoroughly enjoyed these books and gained a better understanding of Eleanor, the people who shared her life, and the historic significance of them and the the times they lived in.
The Entire Trilogy was Outstanding
