Queen of Love

The marriage of Henry of Anjou, Duke of Normandy, and Eleanor of Aquitaine was the sensation of the medieval world...

Henry was the son of the most feared woman in Europe; a woman reputedly descended from the devil: Empress Matilda.

Still only in his teens, but a man of overweening ambition and unbridled passion, Henry was destined to become King of England.

And Eleanor, divorced queen of France, twelve years older than her husband, yet at the peak of her beauty, knew that she too was destined for great things...

Though her reputation had been tarnished by her amorous affairs in Palestine during the Second Crusade, she was still the richest heiress in Europe.

From the highs and lows of her tumultuous marriage, to her strong relationships with her ten children, of whom the Kings Richard and John are the most famous, Eleanor carved out for herself a position of great authority.

And a great legacy.

Above all, this is the story of a woman who loved too deeply and too well...

Queen of Love is a passionate and captivating historical romance, providing an enlightening reflection on the life and successes of Eleanor of Aquitaine.
