A review by barbaraf
The Autumn Throne by Elizabeth Chadwick
4.0
This was the third book in the Eleanor of Aquitaine series (and first book that I read on my new Kindle Paperwhite from the SF library).
It takes us through her later years of tragedy, turmoil and imprisonment and through her time as Queen advisor for her sons King Richard (the Lionheart) and King John (Lackland). It's definitely a worthwhile trilogy for anyone interested in medieval English history. I find that bringing these historical figures to light with fiction while staying true to the actual events makes it a lot easier to remember their stories.
