Eleanor of Aquitaine has always been a heroine of mine! She was a woman way before her time. I also believe QE1 was E reincarnated and that she learned from her mistakes. All her trouble came from men! :o) The confidence and bravery of this one woman, twice a queen, mother to 10 or so children, educated in a time when women are mere chattel, to ruling England alone in the absence of husband/son the King. Advisor& match maker to her granddaughter, Blanche of Castile,who with Es help became queen of France. Blanche was regent for her son, and dominated politics in Europe.
