Cracking broadcast, Eleanor was an incredible and interesting woman, it's always fascinating to listen to her story from someone who has studied the history and details in depth 👏😉
Absolutely! I think of her and Peter O'Toole as the booming Henry II. Katherine Hepburn is my favourite and this is one of her greatest performances. This and "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?"
I find it interesting that Richard the Lion Heart gets so much credit of being one of England’s greatest rulers when he only spent s pinch of his life and time in England. Eleanor should get that credit!
Wonderful video, thank you. I’ve always admired her. A video on her daughters and their descendants would be great. I think the only one I knew about was Joanna. Thank you 👍👍👍👍👵👵👵👵🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Considering how much of a chance it was that the heir would actually make it to the throne back then, one would think that they would train the spare in more than just the church! Just in case!
I read a book report about Eleanor of Aquitaine what I was in third grade and I could choose my topic of discussion for one of the first times in my academic career. Come to find out fast for 30 years, she has made many many direct great-grandmother. And I trace my ancestry all the way back to Charlemagne, I began studying European royalty in my early 20s before having any clue I was related to all of the inbred bunch funny how the universe works❤😅
Wait!! Did you see the woman who is a great, great X?, Grand-daughter?? She commented! You are related!! 😅 But if you ever meet and decide to marry, I am pretty sure it's OK!😅
I agree. There were times when the interviewer interrupted the guest or spoke over her, which came across as rather rude, and made it difficult to hear what the guest was trying to say.
I wonder why women were accepted as powerful rulers early on but not during early medieval times? What changed to weaken their acceptance as holders of power? Interestingly while their ability to hold power was accepted, royal women could divorce kings and marry other kings. I assume this extended down to noble women too. So changed in history to lessen the status of women?

I love that you're spotlighting Eleanor of Aquitaine. Of course, when I think of her, I think of Katherine Hepburn.

When on crusade, he butchered women and children. He was a stone cold killer.

Love the subject Eleanor, however the interview was rather awkward in a few places. Did they not chat a bit prior? Odd.
I agree. There were times when the interviewer interrupted the guest or spoke over her, which came across as rather rude, and made it difficult to hear what the guest was trying to say.
New Sub!!
