1 comments about Eleanor of Aquitaine: By the Wrath of God, Queen of England.
- Anyone who has ever fallen under the spell of "The Lion in Winter" cannot help wanting to know more about Eleanor. In addition to her own titles of Queen of France, Queen of England, and heir to the Aquitaine, she gave birth to the rulers of Europe. "Her sons and their descendants were kings of England, her daughters queens of Sicily and Castile; among her grandsons were a Holy Roman Emperor and the kings of Castile and Jerusalem, while her great-grandson became king of France. Two saints, St. Louis IX of France and St. Ferdinand III of Castile, were also among her descendants. Her blood continues to flow in the veins of Queen Elizabeth II."
Despite the book title, Eleanor shares the spotlight with two husbands and 10 progeny, as well as with Becket, Saladin, a variety of Popes, and the Crusades that served little end than to bankrupt whole nations. The book is not easy reading. The writing is more like a historical journal, with every fact about 12th century Europe the author could uncover, but I would have her leae nothing out. One finishes it knowing that Eleanor was a force of nature and Katherine Hepburn truly captured her indomitable spirit. In an era when 50 was a long life, Eleanor lived to the amazing age of 82. The reader is gripped by the knowledge that every step taken by Eleanor and men and women of her time has resonated through time.
