A reparative reading of stories about medieval queen Eleanor of
Aquitaine. Much of what we know about Eleanor of Aquitaine, Queen
of France and then Queen of England, we know from recorded
rumor—gossip often qualified by the curious phrase “it was
said,” or the love songs, ballads, and romances that gossip
inspired. While we can mine these stories for evidence about the
historical Eleanor, Karen Sullivan invites us to consider, instead,
what even the most fantastical of these tales reveals about this
queen and life as a twelfth-century noblewoman. She reads the
Middle Ages, not to impose our current conceptual categories on its
culture, but to expose the conceptual categories medieval women
used to make sense of their lives. Along the way, Sullivan paints a
fresh portrait of this singular medieval queen and the women who
shared her world.
