Eleanor of Aquitaine: A Life
by Alison Weir
7/10 Stars. A historical look at the remarkable and often scandalous Eleanor of Aquitaine. This books presents the known facts of Eleanor's life, personality, family, and gives a glimpse into twelfth century life as well. Although not a lot was written about Eleanor during her lifetime and few of her letters survive, what does survive gives us a small glimpse into this incredible woman's life and Alison Weir presents it as accurately as possible. Legends and rumors are discussed, their plausibility determined. Eleanor was a fascinating woman, certainly what we would today consider a feminist, even more incredible since she lived 850+ years ago. Definite read for anyone interested in history.
