Reviews
"An alluringly candid portrait of this most public yet elusive of medieval women." --The Boston Globe "Evocative . . . A rich tapestry of a bygone age and a judicious assessment of her subject's place within it." --Newsday, "Eleanor of Aquitaine was among the powerful rulers in Europe. . . . In the sweeping pageant of Eleanor of Aquitaine . . . Weir convincingly debunks some of the more salacious fables about Eleanor's libertine ways." -- The Boston Globe "Evocative . . . a rich tapestry of a bygone age and a judicious assessment of [Eleanor's] place within it." -- Newsday "As delicately textured as a twelfth-century tapestry, royal biographer Weir's newest book is exhilarating in its color, ambition, and human warmth. [Weir] exhibits a breathtaking grasp of the physical and cultural context of Queen Eleanor's life . . . Her account parades a sequence of extraordinary characters. . . . Above all, there is the heroine, viewed clear-sightedly in all her intoxicating and imperious irresistibility." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "One of the most fascinating women in not only English history but all of European history . . . The author's well-written pages--as in her previous books--lead easily to a rich, deep, and accessible understanding of the topic." -- Booklist "Alison Weir . . . paints a vibrant portrait of a truly exceptional woman, and provides new insights into her life." -- Koen Pacific "Weir provides the necessary checks and cautions against believing all we read, whilst enjoyably recording the gossip anyway. A balanced account, with myths, suppositions, and misunderstandings well ventilated." -- Literary Review "A fresh biography of a remarkable woman." -- Irish News (Belfast), "An alluringly candid portrait of this most public yet elusive of medieval women." --The Boston Globe "EVOCATIVE . . . A RICH TAPESTRY OF A BYGONE AGE AND A JUDICIOUS ASSESSMENT OF HER SUBJECT'S PLACE WITHIN IT." --Newsday

Synopsis
In this beautifully written biography, Alison Weir paints a vibrant portrait of a truly exceptional woman and provides new insights into her intimate world. Renowned in her time for being the most beautiful woman in Europe, the wife of two kings and mother of three, Eleanor of Aquitaine was one of the great heroines of the Middle Ages. At a time when women were regarded as little more than chattel, Eleanor managed to defy convention as she exercised power in the political sphere and crucial influence over her husbands and sons. Eleanor of Aquitaine lived a long life of many contrasts, of splendor and desolation, power and peril, and in this stunning narrative, Weir captures the woman--and the queen--in all her glory. With astonishing historic detail, mesmerizing pageantry, and irresistible accounts of royal scandal and intrigue, she recreates not only a remarkable personality but a magnificent past era., An "evocative" ( Newsday ) biography of Eleanor of Aquitaine, queen of England and France, who transcended the mores of society--from the New York Times bestselling author of The Last White Rose "An alluringly candid portrait of this most public yet elusive of medieval women."-- The Boston Globe "[Alison Weir] has perfected the art of bringing history to life."-- Chicago Tribune Renowned in her time as the most beautiful woman in Europe, the wife of two kings and the mother of three, Eleanor of Aquitaine was one of the great heroines of the Middle Ages.
