A fascinating account of one of the most alluring figures of the Middle Ages by one of Britain's most respected historians.
Alison Weir lives and works in Surrey. Her books include Britain's Royal Families, The Six Wives of Henry VIII, Children of England, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Henry VIII- King and Court, Mary, Queen of Scots and, most recently, Isabella.
"'Her biography reads like a medieval romance, a marvellous
intermingling of fact with legend...fascinating...splendid.'"
*Literary Review*
"'Sensible and eminently readable.'"
*Times Literary Supplement*
"'When you finish the book you feel you have been put painlessly
(but not necessarily without tears) in possession of the facts of
this extraordinary, indefatigable woman, her sufferings and
triumphs.'"
*Bevis Hillier, Books of the Year, Spectator*

The noted British biographer has done Elizabeth I, so why not Eleanor, that tough-talking dame who dumped the king of France for England's Henry II? Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
