.Edward, Prince of Wales and Aquitaine: Biography of the Black Prince Search: Aquitaine by: Richard Barber June 29, 1978 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 ...

.House Among Vines Search: Aquitaine by: Marguerite Smith February 28, 2000 The first chapter started out promising, with the author telling us how she ended up in France but then each subsequent chapter ended up being a gossipy story about one family or another from the village with the author guessing events and thoughts and feelings (a few of them ending up suicides or implied incestual relationships). And then she decides to sell her house because of "problems with Fernando" but doesn't go further than that. Other than to say she met a man who would marry her. Odd, just odd. >>See More Reviews & Details on House Among Vines |

.Eleanor of Aquitaine: Queen of the Troubadours Search: Aquitaine by: Jean Markale December 15, 2007 Jean Markale, a controversial French author retired to Celtic Brittany, has a background in writing about ancient, iconic feminine qualities. Markale's earlier titles suggest how he might approach Eleanor of Aquitaine. He had already written: 'Women of the Celts' (1987), 'The Great Goddess: Reverence of the Divine Feminine from the Paleolithic to the Present' (1999), and 'Cathedral of the Black Madonna: The Druids and the Mysteries of Chartres' (2004). Regarding those mysteries of Chartres with its womb-like labyrinth and Black Madonna, Queen Blanche of Castile encouraged the funding-drive for Chartres' new cathedral: she also donated windows. Blanche was a grand-daughter of Eleanor of Aquitaine whom the old queen personally selected ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Eleanor of Aquitaine: Queen of the Troubadours |
