I had ever only heard and read bits and pieces about Eleanor of Aquitaine, one of the most powerful of European women in the Middle Ages: and I knew she went on a Crusade -- wasn't sure which one though.
Philippa, who has recently returned to formal study, chose Eleanor of Aquitaine to write a paper on, which she has just submitted and generously shared it with us. If you have a love for history and a desire to find out more about this fascinating woman, take a read of Philippa's excellent paper. I greatly enjoyed reading it. Well done Philippa: I'm sure you'll do very well.
