Eleanor of Aquitaine : queen and legend

This historical portrait aims to separate history from legend. Owen reassesses Eleanor's political importance in the reigns of Henry II, Richard I and John, and examines her role as a literary and cultural patron. He also explores her legend in 12th-century epic and romance.
