.Dragon's Lair (Penman, Sharon Kay) Search: Aquitaine by: Sharon Kay Penman 2003-10 Sharon Penman's writing style is a joy.

Richard the Lionheart, son of Eleanor of Aquitaine has been captured and is languishing in a German jail. At the same time his brother John is making his own plans to take the throne of England. The Queen has already made her own plans to ransom her son Richard, but one of the ransom payments goes missing in the hills of Wales and Eleanor sends her trusted servant Justin de Quincy to investigate.

.Edward, Prince of Wales and Aquitaine: A Biography of the Black Prince Search: Aquitaine by: Richard Barber February 21, 2003 This book has been accused of being too 'simplistic' and narrative based, because it doesn't dwell on details of military strategy etc. I think this is because Barber is concerned with keeping the reader interested at all times. This he certainly achieves, making for a very easy read. After reading David Green's book 'The Black Prince' however, I saw that Barber wasn't as great as I had at first thought. Basically, if you're not a historian (or crazy about military details) then you will find nothing wrong with this book and simply enjoy reading it. The other thing it does well is teach a huge amount very quickly and easily - so if you're a student this is the one to read first! 4 stars because it's not the best, but it doesn't get a great deal ...

.Eleanor of Aquitaine: By the Wrath of God, Queen of England Search: Aquitaine by: Alison Weir September 30, 1999 Some of the most fascinating characters in history hail from the murkier depths of times lacking much documentary sources. Perhaps their interest comes from this patchwork of conflicting sources, or perhaps the temporal distance lends enchantment. It also presents a problem for the biographer, in that the lack of sources makes it difficult to write authoritatively on the subject. If the subject is a mystery then the book can't be much more than conjectures joined up with speculation. Eleanor of Aquitaine occupies an odd place in such a time. As a ruler and heiress in her own right, and as queen of France and later England, her life is much more richly documented than most of her contemporaries. Her movements, lodgings, nutrition and clothing can ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Eleanor of Aquitaine: By the Wrath of God, Queen of England |
