Alex’s Reviews > Königin der Troubadoure. Eleonore von Aquitanien. (Biographie) > Status Update

Richard Lionheart sounds like a really cool guy to hang out with. Absolutely not a man of moderation.

Régine Pernoud is amazing at seeing the personal aspects of political games. She doesn't reduce every action to political maneuvering in the spirit of Realpolitik.

Very impressed by Guillaume le Maréchal, who held off sixty enemy warriors on his own after losing his horse.

Lots of interesting information, including on the exchequer, the political organization of England, courtly romance and on how Eleonore of Aquitaine and Heinrich Plantagenet served justice.
