Eleanor's patrilineal descent, from a lineage already prestigious
enough to have produced an empress in the eleventh century, gave
her the lordship of Aquitaine. But marriage re-emphasized her sex
which, in the medieval scheme of gender-power relations relegated
her to the position of Lady in relation to her Lordly husbands. In
this collection, essays provide a context for Eleanor's life and
further an evolving understanding of Eleanor's multifaceted career.
A valuable collection on the greatest heiress of the medieval
period.
