内容简介

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 political and diplomatic scope of her marital rank as queen. Essays in this collection reassess the often fragmentary historical information about her life, and investigate her reputation in literary and historical contexts.
