Raised in the pleasure loving Aquitaine duchy of France, Eleanor was married young to Louis VII King of France and then to the great Plantagenet Henry II of England. She was passionately engaged in life as a Crusader against the Turks as the mother of two kings Richard the Lionhearted and wicked King John-as a shrewed politician and her husbands prisoner for sixteen years. Told by Eleanor herself, the story is a medieval tapestry come to blazing life with unforgettable scenes of war, betrayal adulterous passions heartbreak love and murder.
