Eleanor of Aquitaine, Queen of the World

She was a duchess, a queen of two kingdoms, and the mother of two kings. Born into unimaginable wealth, Eleanor of Aquitaine's life was an epic saga of power, politics, and resilience.

From her tumultuous marriage to the pious King of France to her strategic union with the ambitious Henry II of England, Eleanor was a central figure in the forging of a vast empire that stretched from Scotland to the Pyrenees. But her story is not simply one of triumph. It is also one of betrayal, a daring rebellion, and a long imprisonment that could not break her spirit. She would emerge from captivity to reclaim her power, becoming a masterful regent and diplomat who steered the fate of a dynasty.

This comprehensive biography explores the full, complex story of a woman who was a legend in her own time. Through her patronage of the arts, her unwavering will, and her role in shaping the political landscape of Europe, Eleanor of Aquitaine left an indelible mark on history. She was a testament to the fact that, even in a world dominated by men, one woman could not only survive but could also rule an empire. Approx.146 pages, 27000 word count
