LoveReading Says

The third and final volume of this magnificent trilogy of the life of Eleanor of Aquitaine starts with her release from the Palace of Sarum, Wiltshire in April 1176 where her husband Henry II held her prisoner for plotting against him to put her son William on the throne.  She had eight children, most of whom she outlived and one way and another they all lusted after power.  This detailed, absorbing book follows their fortunes through an extraordinary period of history.  Deaths, marriages and deceit abound as a long life is lived. If you are a history buff then this is great.  We stay with Eleanor, whom the author called Alienor as she would have been called in Aquitaine, through to her death in the Abbey of Fontevraud in April 1204.  She saw Henry II, Richard I and John become Kings of England, a powerful lady which Elizabeth Chadwick beautifully portrays.  Highly recommended. ~ Sarah Broadhurst
