| Description: |
These essays provide a fresh context for understanding Eleanor of Aquitaine's multi-faceted career and reputation. She is a pivotal figure in the history of the twelfth century because of her lordly inheritance as well as the eminence, and political and diplomatic scope, of her marital rank as queen, first of France and then of England. |
| Synopsis: |
Eleanor's patrilineal descent, from a lineage already prestigious enough to have produced an empress in the eleventh century, gave her the lordship of Aquitaine. But marriage re-emphasized her sex which, in the medieval scheme of gender-power relations relegated her to the position of Lady in relation to her Lordly husbands. In this collection, essays provide a context for Eleanor's life and further an evolving understanding of Eleanor's multifaceted career. A valuable collection on the greatest heiress of the medieval period. |
