Eleanor of Aquitaine by Desmond Seward
Eleanor of Aquitaine's glamour, her patronage of poets, and her throwing off of constraints which shackled women in the 12th century, are almost forgotten, as are her gifts as politician and leader. This book attempts to reconcile the paradoxes in her formal personality.
Desmond Seward is a highly-regarded historian of the late Middle Ages. He is the author of HENRY V AS WARLORD published in Classic Penguin Military History, THE MONKS OF WAR (Penguin), THE WARS OF THE ROSES and RICHARD III: ENGLAND's BLACK LEGEND (Penguin).
