Eleanor Aquitaine. Queen with a lion's heart. Starshov E.V.

Queen Eleanor, or Alienor, Aquitaine is often compared with Elena Beautiful. In part, this is true, partly - it simply deterses the talents and merits of this outstanding woman. It was amazingly combined with the sobriety of politics and unlimited passion. She was a wonderful mother to one children, but bad - for various reasons - to others. Eleanor accurately went on a crusade with her first husband - the king of France, Louis VII, and for the sake of her love, offended by the second husband - the king of England Henry II, put on the map the integrity of the state. Finally, she raised the most famous king of the English Middle Ages - Richard Lion's heart.

about the fate of this extraordinary woman tells the next book of the series.
