It is the year 1152 & a beautiful woman of thirty, attended by only a small armed escort, is riding like the wind southwards through what is now France, leaving behind her crown, her two young daughters & a shattered marriage to Louis of France, who had been more like a monk than a king, & certainly not much of a lover. This woman is Eleanor, Duchess of Aquitaine, & her sole purpose now is to return to her vast duchy & marry the man she loves, Henry Plantagenet, a man destined for greatness as King of Engl&. Theirs is a union founded on lust which will create a great empire stretching from the wilds of Scotland to the Pyrenees.
