Buy the book from:
In 1154, Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry II are crowned as rulers of England, controlling an extensive collection of territories on both sides of the Channel. Eleanor governs, travels and bears their children, but Henry increasingly treats her lands and authority as instruments of his own kingship.
The murder of Thomas Becket, Henry’s infidelities and competition among their sons turn a formidable political marriage into open conflict. Eleanor supports the rebellion of 1173 in an attempt to secure power for her children and herself, accepting the risk that failure will allow Henry to confine and silence his queen.
