The lives of the sons of Eleanor of Aquitaine are the stuff of
legend. Her daughters, however, are less well known, and the
fascinating personalities of her daughters-in-law have been almost
entirely overlooked, as have those of the daughters she bore Louis
VII of France. The Families of Eleanor of Aquitaine redresses this
balance and showcases the lives, travels and careers of these ten
very different women, who formed a great international network of
political alliances that linked their parents, their siblings,
their husbands and their children all across Europe and the Holy
Land. Some of these women found happiness; others endured lives of
turmoil and conflict. Some of them were close; others never met.
But two things linked them all: their connection to Eleanor and to
the kingdoms over which she reigned; and their determination to
exert authority on their own terms in a male-dominated world.
